[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public school won’t allow it. They don’t want to pay to educate a kid more years than they have to. That’s expensive. They’ll ask for transcripts, see that you’ve already finished 8th grade, and enroll him in 9th. The only way you may get around it is if he fails all of the 8th grade core classes. I’ve had kids move into my class mid year when delayed transcripts came through from the old school and they realize the kid already finished the prior grade.[/quote]

Above is NOT our experience as a military family.  We have never had a school complain like that or move a child without our permission.  PP is guessing and must not have much PCS experience.  If it ever did happen, we would have the Base Legal officer engage and explain that the schools cannot do that to military families.  There ALWAYS are curriculum gaps when PCSing from one state to another, even if both states claim to be following “Common Core”.  And a DoDEA school would never ever do that, but those schools are more common OCONUS than CONUS.[/quote]
