He is not failing and he is in my school district since placement with special reading classes twice a week. He has no learning disabilities. The teacher said it isn't that he can't do the work, it is that he was never taught. Teacher has told us how drastically he has improved since being there (3 1/2 months). His grades for his report card were Reading 76 Language 77 Spelling 79 Math 95. He just got a 92 on his last spelling test. What she said is he missed what was taught to his class the first 4 months of year, which was short vowels. A friend of mine who is a teacher said that after he has made such strides and working hard to hold him back would be like a slap in the face. We are in the process of getting him a private tutor. We don't think we are going to hold him back. Does this sound resonable?
