[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 497798, member: 1233"] Janet, our school does BOTH. A kid who refuses to do the work or is a troublemaker? Cannot flunk a class. A child who is well behaved but gets hurt/sick? Cannot pass. We were told a week before HALLOWEEN that Jess would have to repeat 8th grade. She had the flu and then got hit by a car. She missed 11 days, WITH notes, and then she had a 3 day migraine and the NEURO sent a note for her every day. They faxed the neuro office saying they KNEW it was not a dr office and was just a friend of mine sending the note. She had straight As. On every assignment in every class. Was not behind. Just missed class due to things she couldn't control. We pulled her out because they were dead set they would flunk her no matter how many days she attended, what her scores were, and what quality her work was or what she learned. It was ridiculous. Yet if she yelled in class, had rages, hurt people? She would pass. I know it because I know kids they did that too - passed them because they didn't want to deal with them. [/QUOTE]
