My son failed reading with a 69, math 69 and science 69. He did however pass the Schools Assessment test called the Daks testing for second graders with a 90 in Reading and 78 in Math. Although he has some progress to make, he has made tremendous progress this year. The work he has not completed is in THE CLASSROOM-NOT AT HOME. The answer from the principle is that he is immature and they cant make him be motivated or do the work. Excuse me---but isnt it their job to make him?? He is only 8yrs.old afterall. He is also nearsighted and has astigmatism in one eye and has to wear glasses. Also, it has been a tough, emotional year because his dad and I are going through a divorce. I see him really trying and I KNOW this is going to completely crush the progress he is making. I asked the principle about summer school and she said it is not an option. Can anyone tell me the texas law on retaining a 2nd grader and what I can do??
