What happens when you fail a class in junior high?

I never got even remotely close to failing zclass when I was in school..... So I have no idea what the consiquences are.

Dh finally logged into ss12's online grade thing last Thursday. Ss was dismally failing two classes and one point away from failing a third. Ss got lectured and swore hed bring his grades up anc hr wasnt going to fail for the quarter. Dh gzve him a whole speach about a man only being as good as his word blah blah blsh. Ss has sworn over amd over that he knows what he has to do and he wont fail.

U.fortunately for both of them, neither thought to look on the school calendar on thefridge......the marking period ended last Friday. So unless all thrde of those teachers had some serious updating to do on the portal, he has for sure failed two classes, and possibly a third.

So what happe s now? Does failing one quarter mean anything? Or does he have to fail for the whole year (all four report cards averaged?)

I was passed to the next

I was passed to the next grade without the batting of an eye after I failed 7th grade Civics.
Same happened in High School until I put my foot down and failed 5 classes on purpose so I could be sent to a different school (an Alternative Education school)

I am curious...I would almost

I am curious...I would almost bet that he passes the classes. SS online portal grades were always failing..until the day actual grades were put on report cards. Then he miraculously passed every class by a few point. I think the teacher just did not want him in their class again.

That is when BM and DH would tell him how PROUD they were of him for passing. GAG.

Two of his grades were in the

Two of his grades were in the 40s..... So thatd be alot of fudging the numbers tk bet it over a 68.

So what happens if they just

So what happens if they just fail a class or two...nothing? Its writing/languave arts and math I believe that he is failing for quarter 1

Probably not much these days.

Probably not much these days. When SS-21 was in Jr.HS and HS in order for there to be any consequence for failing the same two classes had to be failed over two 6wk grading periods. Since they had block scheduling all the kid had to do was pass all of his classes the first six weeks and he could do absolutely nothing the second six weeks and still pass.

If the same two classes were failed for two consecutive 6wk periods then the kid could be required to repeat the entire school year.

He is a smart kid. He would get straight As the first 6 weeks, get all of his teachers to love him then he would do just about nothing for the next six weeks. He would do the same thing the second semester.

It drove his mom and I insane.

I live in Canada,

I live in Canada, Ontario....and they no longer fail students in the province.

Instead they call it "promoting" they'll promote them to the next grade...however it will remain on their transcript that "X did not pass Gr.7"...it may have the potential to impact post secondary education...not sure. It is only Gr.7 not that its not important but at least its not HS(where grades matter the most).

SS13 failed grade 7 last year and was promoted. Instead of BM telling SO this first...she ALWAYS made it about money first....I need my Support blah blah.

Glad you and your husband have your SS best interest.

DH's kid failed 7th grade on

DH's kid failed 7th grade on purpose, part of her plan to show how miserable she was living with us.

Long story short, she moved back in with Uberskank, went into 8th grade and is now a senior in HS.

Nothing changed for her, though I'm assuming Uberskank went to the school to explain the poor grades were the result of squalid living conditions and daily beatings she endured living with us.
