[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our kid’s school, kid asked to leave after junior year due to failing a required class. The school’s position was that it didn’t offer it during the summer, it was a core class, and the school requires all core classes to be taken at school taught by school personnel. The school would not let the kid take the class senior year. (The school told me directly. It came up when I asked about having my kid take a class over the summer.) I was shocked. At some schools, it doesn’t take much to be asked to leave. But do call around.  [/quote]

They kicked out a kid for their senior year of HS?? That is just a sh!!tty thing to do.

It sounds like the kid failed out, essentially. Would it have been kind of the school to compromise in some way? Sure, but they aren’t required to. A graduation requirement is a graduation requirement. [/quote]

Sounds like the kid failed one class and instead of bringing all the intellectual fire power these schools purportedly possess to bear on a scheduling issue, they just cut the kid loose to sink or swim without their friends or the supposedly support school community. For the college application process. For their senior yr of high school.

Yes, it would have been kind and no, they don’t have to be kind.

But it was, indeed, an awful thing to do to a kid.

I really wish the PP would name the school  [/quote]
