17 y/o and back in the 9th Grade with the 14 y/o’s?
Every 17 y/o worst nightmare.
“My older brother knows you, and he just graduated last year. How many classes did you flunk?”
The student must have known he wasn’t learning.
If he spent the last three years tricking his Mom that all was well instead of studying, he then shares in the blame.
There will likely be lots of other 17 y/o’s there with him.
