What grade would i homeschool my child if she failed?
What would probably be best is for her to take some placement tests. They wouldn't have to be the expensive "professional" tests. A lot of curriculum publishers offer free tests so that you can know which level of their books to buy. These would give you a *close enough* answer. All you really need is a ballpark idea of what level to begin with. The thing that many people who are unfamiliar with home education don't understand is that grade levels don't mean very much when a student is in a class of one. Grade levels are mostly a way to organize groups of students so that most will be learning the same things at about the same time. In homeschooling, a student is taught and learns at his or her own pace. The student does not have to conform to the pace at which the pack is taught. If your daughter is failing 8th grade, it would not be unusual to find that she is actually testing at a fifth or sixth grade level in some basic areas. Many parents who are homeschooling for the first time after they discover that their child is struggling in middle school are shocked to discover that their child was promoted a few times even though they had missed basic skills. I do a lot of tutoring now and it is very common to have kids in sixth or seventh grade who are still counting on their fingers to multiply. Knowing the multiplication facts up through 12s is usually an end-of-third-grade skill. Yet many kids in sixth grade have not mastered that yet. What grade would you say they are in? They go to a sixth grade classroom at school, but they test out at third grade level. That is the kind of situation you will be facing if you decide to homeschool. The good news is that once a child does have some personal attention and someone who will work with them consistently, a child of average intelligence will often catch up several missing years in a few months. But you do have to go back and start at that level and the fill in the gaps from there. This post is long enough already, so I won't take the time to show links to where you can find free or inexpensive testing. If you do decide you want to do that, you can always post another question. The bottom line is, without testing, you won't know what grade level she should begin working in.
How many semesters do you need to fail to be held back in 6th grade?
There are only two semesters generally unless a trimester is used. Some subjects you must pass three quarters (1 1/2 semester). Some you can fail an entire semester and be okay. If you fail one semester, you can take summer school, credit retrieval classes or even take that semester instead of an elective the next year, depending on the school’s policy and procedure. The best bet is to do the work necessary to pass every course, every semester.
I received 4 F's in my first semester of high school, does that mean I'll fail my grade level?
If you are not cut-out for high school, and that’s the reason you are failing, then quit and get a GED. School is not for everyone. (Please seek personal counsel on that decision before you make it). You may be more successful at a trade and even happier doing it. College will always accept you if you wanted to get “proper” schooling in the future.If you are failing because of a learning disability or physical disability, you need to notify your school of the problem right away. By law they need to accomodate for your barriers to learning.If you just had life happen to you and there was no way you COULD have prioritized school the last two months, then you need to talk to the counselor at school about it.Finally, if you just plain can’t get it now, you are only going to fall further behind, as content builds throught the year on what you just were supposed to learn last month. It is tough, but just ask for help. Friggin ask for help. Teachers will do incredible things for you as long as you open up about your needs. Ask them for tutoring at or after school, or daily check-ins to keep you on top of things. Ask and you will get.
Can you get kicked out of school because of your grades, even if they don't expect you to transfer?
Your question handicaps anyone attempting to answer because of two missing and crucial elements: the level (i.e. high school vs. college) and type of institution (private vs. public).For Public High School or lower:Generally speaking, expulsion is connected to violating school conduct policies. Depending on the specific reason why: Failing your course work should either result in make up course work in between semesters, transferring to your school systems special education courses, or transferring to perhaps a sister school within your school system. Of course, one caveat is that if the student has both aged out (think 19/20 year old high school student) and is continuing to fail all course work, then the school will likely administratively end their student status without awarding a diploma.For Private High School or lower:The school sets the rules for continued admittance - and grades are certainly fair game as a grounds for discharging a student from their school. In this setting, the onus is on the student and their parent/guardian to continually meet the admission criteria set by the school or risk the student’s expulsion.The only caveat of which I am aware is kicking out a student for demonstrably discriminatory reasons or in violation of their own school policies.Public College and beyond:Depending on the guidelines and rules governing their parent school system (normally a state level entity), each public college limits the number of times you can either fail a course within your degree program or fail coursework in general. Thus, a college can and will kick out a student for continually failing their courses.Private Colleges:Again, they set the rules on everything from grades to dress code and conduct. So, any violation of their rule book is grounds for expulsion or other punitive actions in accordance with their policies.The caveat here is also if the expulsion was on grounds of discrimination or violated the institutions own policies.On Transferring:Unless you are in an institution set up specifically to transfer elsewhere (for example my undergrad alma mater has an engineering program that specifically transfers the student to GA Tech in their Junior year), the institution will assume that your plan is to begin and finish with them. Thus, the transfer concern is not likely present for most institutions.
Is one F enough to fail 7th grade?
If you are in the US it is increasingly harder to get held back a grade. I have been in several different districts in multiple states. In none of those systems would a student be held back for failing one class, even in a core class like science. I have seen students promoted who fail English, math, history all in the same year.This is one thing that makes high school so difficult for at risk students. They are told by their teachers that if they don’t do their work they will fail, and sure enough they don’t do the work and the student gets an F, but they just move on to the next grade. So at risk students learn that there is no consequence for getting an F. Now this student gets to high school hears the same line about not working will result in a failing grade, and sure enough they fail. The next year they are called a 10th grader, but surprise, surprise they are taking 9th grade English, 9th grade math, 9th grade science and so on. Then out of frustration many of these students drop out somewhere during the 10th grade year.
Do they hold you back a grade in high school?
High School is different from previous grades in that what matters are the credits earned. When you have met your graduation requirements, you are permitted to graduated. Your grade classification is an "artificial" designation determined by each individual school system. Even though I am in Kansas, transcripts from students transferring in from Florida would indicate the system is basically the same. In your case, you are fortunate in that you have time to make up the missing credits and potentially graduate on time. The key to whether or not you do that is how motivated you are. How badly do you want to graduate on time? Is it a main goal of your life? Is it just something nice you would like to do to impress your friends and make your parents happy? Why did you fail the first semester? Are those problems still there? In the end, whether you graduate on time or not is up to you!
I failed algebra 2 and i'm a junior in high school and i'm already 18, can i still be promoted?!?
I've failed algebra 2 and i'm 18 yrs old and supposed to be promoted to senior next year but supposedly if you fail algebra 2 you can be demoted but i should have more that enough credits(17 to be exact) to be promoted and no one notified me of taking summer school or even told me to go to summer school and it starts on monday, I passed all other classes except this one and no one informed me or gave me a slip or notice for summer school. Does this mean that i don't have to go to summer school and that i passed? or does it mean when i go back to school in september that i'll find out that i'm demoted? So what's going to happen to me? grades should be coming home soon and that's when i'll see how many credits i have and i'm pretty sure it's at least 17 which is required to be promoted to senior level and if i have the required creds how can they demote me for failing one class and then not even inform me? Honestly i'm scared to death right now i do not need o be a 20 yr old grad!
What happens when you fail a class in high school?
I’m going anonymous in case my teacher sees this.I have failed an English class in Grade 9. The reason why I failed because I was stressing about the medical procedure I was going through in a few months. I forgot to read my book for the quizes, thus I failed most of them. We had to write an essay. I failed it. There were very few things that I got a B on. She emailed me saying that maybe it would be more helpful if I repeat the class next year, because I’d be more focused. I got lucky, because I would have to stay home for a few months after my procedure, so I didn’t repeat the course. I did have to do credit recovery.So the reason I failed wasn’t because I didn’t know the material, it was because I forgot to study (and also failed almost every assignment as a result) because of my circumstance.You would probably have to repeat the course next year. You can either do your grade level course the semester after your previous one, or you can do summer school. Also, you can be a grade behind in the course if you take it the year after you were supposed to.
There is no point in making students repeat a school year if they fail their exams?
I think that in this age one needs all the examination passes and qualifications one can get and that one year extra in achieving them is time well spent. If you are talking about being kept back a year in school as a result of failing internal/end of year exams then my answer would be that there is little point in moving on to a higher syllabus if one hasn't grasped the basics or elementary steps. That will only serve to make your work more difficult than before to the extent that had you understood little last year you will understand still less now. One year seems a lifetime in school but is very little in the context of the working years you have ahead of you.
What happens if you fail a high school final?
Ok, so I'm a freshman at a vocational-technical high school, and I was wondering, what happens if you pass a class, all semesters, but come time for finals, you fail the final? Or if you fail two finals? Do finals count towards you being promoted to the next grade? I ask this because, I'm horrible at Algebra. I fail every test I have in there, and the only reason my average is currently 73 is because doing all my homework all the time saves me. This is the same with Biology which I'm doing slightly better in. I clam up during tests, but otherwise I'm an excellent student so this is REALLY bothering me. Help???
