[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, everyone! Due to the fact he has missed so much school, he isn't being recommended for Algebra next year, so I don't even see the point of him taking these. It will just stress him out and make him feel horrible because he won't understand the questions.  And yes, the Virtual Academy is where we planned on him going, but the schedule follows a traditional school day, and he hadn't been able to withstand a complete day of school yet.  Working towards it though! [/quote]

Absolutely nothing will happen.  We were told to bring our child last year and refused.  We haven't heard from the school yet, but we will refuse again this year.  It's not uncommon for virtual families not to bring their kids in.  We are told we need to, but if we don't, nothing will happen.  They do have to take the required tests in HS to graduate but they can be done in 10-11-12th.  I think our school last year said they were going to file a waiver as I never heard from them after the initial call.

It's not Algebra but there are other 8th-grade tests including a science test.  I forget all the tests but just decline and say that you will not bring him into a school building due to health issues and they can waive it.

Hope your child feels better soon!  [/quote]
