One More Year of Preschool | Everybody Loves Raymond 

Would a teacher even allow a kid to be held back a year if it was clear they were ready to move on to the next class? I like to think not. When a child is ready to progress in their education, they are supposed to move on. A parent trying to hold them back for unrelated reasons wouldn't be allowed to do that, surely. Like, even in preschool and kindergarten. That's just gotta be true, because if not, that's super messed up. I really hope it was Frank's reason and not Marie's.

@@Xylarxcode I'm sure it was Frank's reason, Marie "reason" was her way of softly telling him.

@@Xylarxcode Pre-school isn't required and entering grade school depends on the child's birthday the year starts. Ray was probably on the younger end of when he should've started and there was allowance to let him stay behind to develop a little further. There are a couple studies around kids who are on either end of the birthday cut-off for starting grade school and generally, it's found the older children excel better in school because they're better developed by about a year and it had compounding effects throughout their time in school. Basically they were killing shapes and colors because they studied an extra 9 months vs the younglings around them and that extra boost in self esteem lasted through calculus.

If Norman Bates mother acted like Marie Barone.. it is no surprise he killed her.

Yup.

That’s the work of a egotistical narcissist. Sounds very scary…

Ray was slow… I think that’s the main reason

I think she wanted Robert to be the one to get married & have children while Ray stayed home

Marie stroking Raymond hair like a little boy. She lost the plot.

Smother

She does that all the time.

Little Ray gets sabotaged in pre school and people feel sympathy.. she Sabotaged Roberts interview wit the f'ing FBI.. no wonder he felt everybody loves Raymond

Frank did say he was slow. I don't think Frank would have let Marie keep Ray back if her selfish reason was the only reason.

I didn’t go to pre school but my mother did start me in kindergarten one year late on purpose. I’m not mad about it though

I know I've said it before, and I swear it's the last time, but this could honestly have been a great horror series/film, with Marie as the villian: a psychotic, obsessive, insane mother who literally stalks her own children. She would install hidden cameras in Ray and Debra's bedroom. 😮😅😂

Very sensual

@@dieterdelange9488 That would be too dark. It is only sufferable when it is a comedy.

Marie really does creep on Raymond a lot.

@@Zodroo_Tint Dark, yes, but sadly it does happen in real life.

When he was little???? It never stopped! The way she treats him as an adult is even more disturbing 😂

⁠@@momD612Oh, yeah, it’s very disturbing. Sounds like a horror movie, lol! 🤣

@brittanyc.4540 sound like Norman Bates situation.....🤣🤣

My favorite scene in the whole show was when Robert's mother-in-law called her out on her selfish acts.

The narcissus is such a beautiful yellow flower... (daffodil)

That was a rule you had to follow if you wanted to live

This is only preschool. Not a big deal.

Wrong!

It could piss him off down the road.

​@@cherylschantz9893 It's ONE YEAR! Bet you wouldn't feel that way about a promotion 😂

I know

Me too. Only it was 8th grade and they weren’t my friend. It was the same situation as the video. It was twin brothers where one could have graduated, but the other couldn’t so they both repeated 8th grade. The one that was eligible was nice enough; I just never really got to know him. The one that had to repeat was in my PE class, and was nothing short of a bully.

Same thought I had. Maybe his birthday is around the cutoff date?

An honest man. Good for him. They're far and in-between now a days.

Toughen up beta boy😅

Me too

And if they keep the other twin back with him, he may have a grudge about not being able to move forward because of his brother when he's older.

@@sph1226 depends, I be forgiving in pre school era. if it were the last year of elementary school or middle school than I be more on point with you

It shouldn't be the other sibling because of stupid parental decision

@@morik207maybe Debra & Ray wanted the twins together

@@alishashay17 in the same grade not the same class

Sigmund fraud?

@@UWV67 who else?

You're the softest generation

You got some problems

Maybe Debra & Ray wanted to keep both boys together instead of separate

R.I.P. Sawyer Sweeten.

The kid here being held back was Michael, not Geoffrey. Geoffrey's real life actor is the one who passed away.

Maybe I am interpreting this comment wrong but it sounds like you think that is funny? Again, I could be reading this wrong.

@@dazitmane8905Geoffrey was played by Sullivan Sawyer
