My mom was doing other things and I didn’t really have to go school from the seventh grade.
So I didn’t. I stayed home and hit golf balls into the garage. That isn’t a euphemism or anything. I had a set of golf clubs and would just open the door and fire away. All day, for months. And I was 13 so I had a homeless dude buy me a Swank and I masturbated all over the place. I was essentially 13 and living alone. Living the dream!
Then I moved up to Oregon to live with my sister. She enrolled me in high school and they were all “wtf???” do we do with this kid. They could have put me in the seventh grade to match my transcripts. But they decided to put me in the 10th grade and hope for the best.
This turned out to not be a problem except for English classes. I still struggle there. But high school is easy. Do the homework with the provided book and you are golden.
Back to the question.. Is the rule in high school really enforced? It seems like they really want to move people on and get them out of the system. What good is keeping a kid back if they suck at math? Some people will just never be good at that.
