se la hizo repetir

Explanation:
En educación se hace una diferencia entre decir "repitió" y "se hizo repetir" a alguien. En la práctica no hay diferencia, por supuesto.

Mirá acá, cuando se habla de \"hacer\" repetir el año a un chico.

Por otra parte, \"existe\" en inglés el \"repeated the second grade\". Eso es \"repitió...\". Pero cuando se habla de \"to be retained\" es diferente. Más que nada, es diferente en cuanto a la \"responsabilidad\" y eso es muy muy importante en el fracaso así como la deserción escolar primaria.
