Ok, let me start by saying that my son is very smart. last year he made all As throughout the third grade. This year his grades fell a little. He made two Cs the rest were As and Bs.
The problem is that Louisiana does the LEAP test. If a student fails the LEAP test, they must either go to summer school or repeat that grade. Basically, the test exist only to contradict the teachers.
My son failed the LEAP test. The dates for summer school encompass our disney dates. We were able move our dates to the middle of July, from BLT to SSR.
I told him earlier in the year that if he failed, he would not go to WDW. He technically passed the fourth grade but, the school says he didn't.
My thing is, are we doing we doing the right thing by changing our date to allow him to come with us? Or, should we have stuck to our guns and plan to leave him with a family member?
We don't think it would be fair to our daughter or anyone else for us to not go.
i don't know, you would that after 10 years this parenting stuff would get easier.
