My daughter is in the first grade in an excelerated elementary school. She was academically tested before being accepted in kidergarten. The school advised us now that they will not offer her a position in second grade next year. Their justification is that my daughter does not work fast enough in the class. She however, scores high in reading comprehension and math tests. She reads at above grade level.

All private schools in our area have completed enrollement and are full. Admission process starts around January and ends in March.

I think it is very inconsiderate of the school to let us know this late. However, life is not fair and I may not have any recourse but to send my daughter to public school next year.

My question: Do I have any legal rights to make the school give my daughter a place in second grade next year? Are there any suporting laws or cases? (We are in California)

My son is 12, 5'4", 150lbs and in 6th grade. There's some kids on his bus that get on/off on his same stop (which just so happens to be right outside our house) that keep messing with him (verbally, spraying liquid on him, and pushing). I want to go find them and beat the ever loving s*%t out of their parents for raising such brats. My son is in advanced classes, quiet and doesn't speak up for himself. I'm not sure what to do or what to tell him to do because these kids know where he lives. He never goes outside to play and now I'm realizing its probably because he doesn't want to run into them. I'm not sure what to do short of enrolling him in self defense classes, but they're too expensive. My husband's response is "He's a boy, getting into fights and sometimes getting beat up is just a right of passage." Any advice? Anybody? Please!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay, here is the story:
about three weeks ago, i got moved from my seat for talking. so when i got to my new seat, i didnt talk at all for the three weeks. well, i answered her questions and all, but i stopped raising my hand and barely said a word. so then, when she's in the teacher's lounge, she goes talking about me and stuff. and then, she confronts me and says "when are you going to stop being ticked at me, it's lowering your particapation grade." so i said i would participate more.
and that is where we are. i still havent gotten my parents involved, but its the next step. what do you think should happen and do you think i am being dumb?
