They probably figure the kid must be doing fine, since he keeps getting promoted to the next grade.

This isn't even a serious legitimate answer. You're just typing to give your fingers a work out now. You think they can't read progress reports that are sent home? Report cards. Plus the fact that it is their choice to send the kid to the next year when he has failed. Maybe sometime in those 9 years they could have sat down with their kid and listened to him read?? You don't want a serious discussion about the issue.

Typical public school apologist. Learn to write in complete sentences before you call my answers illegitimate. Maybe then I'll take you seriously.
