I have a son that is 16 years old and going into the 10th grade yet he has
a
hard time spelling his OWN name. I asked him the state capitol of
Michigan
(the state we live in) and he said it was FLINT!! (its Lansing)
He is actually about the 4th to 5th grade level in reading, writing, and
math as well as most other subjects. I have asked the school WHY they are
passing him all the time and they simply state that because he is "special
ed" and because of that the standards are lower?
I am getting frustrated at how to deal with this, I am the "custodial
parent" of him and am concerned on how the FOC may feel about pu****ng him
back 2 grades at the begining of the school year.
