My son is 7 years old and he is not doing that great in school. He has 3 C's and 2 F's. His teachers wrote me a note to meet with them. In the meeting they basically told me to hold him back I thought it was volountary. She even tried to get me to sign a paper agreeing to it. I called her the following day and told her that we had 2 mor months of school left why are they just giving up on him she told me that they were doing me a courtesy to tell me that he was going to fail so that it wouldn't be a shock at the end of the year. The subject that they want to hold him back in is reading but he has a 80 in reading that is passing. I am working really hard with him to pull up the 2 F's and that I think should be acceptable. My only problem is I believe they just want to hold him back. I asked his teacher before about counciling and she kinda shrugged it off. Why couldn't they have told me sooner before now. Is there anything I can do to stop them. What about the No Child Left Behind act.
