Your written English is not too good. Your parents can try for you but it is doubtful.
Reply:Ask your parents if you can go through independent study they offer it anywhere...thats how I graduated years ago and my kids now in their 20s graduated the same way...you could get to the level that you want in independent study then go back to your regular school in the grade that you are comfortable...talk to a counselor at school, then talk to your parents after you have the facts, Parents want,need and like facts...Good Luck. Merry Christmas...
Reply:Thats how old i was when i was in 7th grade and it wasnt a big deal but if it is for u then u could talk to ur parents or someone at ur skool
Reply:Ok, why are you in 7th grade and 14? Were you retained, or did you start school late, and why? Were you too immature to start school? There has to be a good reason , right? Skipping grades is not all about getting good grades...it is about social maturity as well. Chances are, if one of your teachers have not brought it up, they will really not agree with it. Do you have friends? Do you have social issues? I don't see any harm in your dad speaking with the school, but they don't just hand kids the chance to skip a grade. Good luck...
