Are black students getting help at home?

Why did you want to have him held back if he'd mastered the subject matter and was already scoring above average, cannongal?

Because grounding him, & taking away computer & video games did absolutely nothing. He was perfectly happy to sit in his room and do nothing.

Extra chores didn't work either, and he just laughs at me when I beat on him.

The school never gave him detention, or suspension. Being held back was our last hope of him getting consequences for his actions.

All he learned was that he could do whatever the fuck he wanted, and still go on to the next grade. He's a Junior in high school now, and I still get complaints from his teachers about not doing homework, and they still pass him.
