Because we moved states and our portfolio review had been lost. So age wise they wanted him in 6th, He's 12.5 and had no review so "they couldn't pass him to 7th". Completely ignoring the fact his first superintendent had him start 1st at 5. Therefore putting him in 8th grade this year. They refused to test him and by the time the final decision of 6th grade came in we're just to tired to fight. We could take it to the school board but I really don't feel like fighting. A kid that's studying for his ACTs shouldn't be sitting in a 6th grade class at 12 because they don't feel like testing him. 12 in 6th grade is already a year behind in most schools. Whatever, we homeschool this year and I guess fight the high school next year.
