Nothing like the word "reclassify" to get the blood pressure up and the pot stirring again. Love it.
Who pioneered this term "reclassified"?
I think it is an absolutely hilarious way of making end around attempts to keep face. Back in the day we card it repeating a grade. Because it is repeating a grade. The only way to pull that off a generation ago was to be a lousy enough student to flunk a grade and summer school as well. The look on the faces of maryland parents when you ask what grade their kid REPEATED is just precious.
And the look of LI parents when they hear a reclassified kid got a D1 spot is even better. Better than July 4th fireworks. Remember, there are no rules being broken. Just choices being made.
