A 15 year old 8th grader?
Florida
I guess he flunked....twice.
Not unusual. When I first started teaching 17 years ago, I registered a ninth grader to VOTE. He failed the 9th grade like three times. He affiliated democrat, of course. For the last nine years I've taught in the inner city. Right now I have a senior that's almost 21. He's finally going to graduate. Then he's joining the army. I think that's the only reason he's stayed in school. He really wants to be a soldier and they're not taking anybody who doesn't have the diploma.
