Repeating 8th grade is a popular one.

Kids can either go into high school with poor grades and less mature or they can take a year to get their grades up and mature a little. It's the last chance to do this. Repeating 9th grade doesnt help anything because you've lost a year of eligibility and the grades are on your transcript.

Do you realize how wrong you sound. Everyone knows that grades from 8th grade do not count for anything, unless its a high school class taken in 8th grade. So no kid in 8th grade needs to improve his grades. And if you can afford to pay 18k to 45k for high school for your son. And he is behind in his school learning you are the worst parent on earth. You should of sold the Rolls and got him a tutor way before 8th grade. The mature thing is just code word for gaining 30 pounds and 2 or 3 inches so he can play Var. as a freshman because he really is a Soph. Just tell the truth you are working the system man up and stop hiding behind lies.


No. But keep writing and explaining, and I think you will help more people understand the importance of testing when it comes to possibly deviating from the government curriculum.
