[quote=Anonymous]This is OP and yes I keep asking myself how I wasn’t aware of how gatekept these classes were. My son assumed he would be approved for honors classes right away, given his middle school transcript but when he wasn’t the academic dean (not sure of exact position title of who I spoke with) said that as long as he “did well” moving into honors for 10th grade would be easy. I was also told that placement was not absolute and there was room to discuss. I was told after mid terms that he could advance with department approval even. Well fast forward and no one has any desire to discuss the options that we need, no wiggle room and likely no justification for me to keep my kid there academically. He is happy. We turned down other opportunities to be there and it really just sucks. I haven’t given up and am looking for a way but at the end of the day I am pretty positive they aren’t going to be helpful. It’s a big school. My kid can stay or go. They aren’t too concerned. Makes all of us very sad but here we are. [/quote]
