My oldest son Justice has been struggling in school. He was actually held back in kindergarten. He did great through 1st Grade, but struggled the whole year in 2nd. We decided in October to put him in SLD (specific learning disability) classes. He was still having a hard time. Well even after tutoring, and busting our humps, I got a letter 2 weeks ago saying he was a potential retainee.
He was SO upset. I wrote the teacher back telling her that if they see it fit and neccessary to hold him back, then do so.
Well, I just got the letter in the mail......... HE PASSED!

I'm SO proud of him. He worked so hard and did as much as he could to pass the end of year tests!

I called him at his dad's house and told him to put Justice on speaker phone. I told him he passed and he starting screaming!


Way to go Justice!

That's fantastic. You must be so proud of him. Tell him that a whole bunch of people he doesn't know are proud of him, too.

Well, not as early as I would have liked. I fought for 2years to get him into it. But after getting the school board (same one I dealt with about the skating thing) they finally did it.
