      My highschool friend was colorblind and nearly failed kindergarten. They would ask him to color things red and he’d be like “it’s all red?” and paint the whole page blue

        Failed kindergarten? You guys can fail the first year of school, the one where all you do is play with toys and learn how to interact with other children?

          In my country, yeah you might need to retake it. I mean if you’re not understanding the concept presented why force your passing to have you struggle at you’re second year if school. But that will not be considered failling just retaking.

            OK, I think I was just thrown by the use of “passing” and “failing”. Repeating the first year based on development makes sense, but “passing” and “failing” imply you’re taking some kind of written exam and need to qualify for a position!

          In my area of the USA what you described would be called preschool which, yes, you can fail. My sibling was held back because they were shy. Here kindergarten is more structured learning like any other grade.
