My mother is a teacher, and she told me that she has a student that turned 15 and is in the seventh grade. So far, it seems like the school hasn't done anything. In this situation, shouldn't they move the child up to a higher grade, or at the very least, place them in the appropriate courses in order to save the child further embaressment, trauma, AND to prevent them from getting further behind? As a parent, if your child were at this point, what could you possibly do to help them get ahead and in the grade they belong? 15 is around the age of a high school freshman. She always talks about her students and nothing really shocks me anymore, but this sure did....it's honestly very sad.
