In my experience, perhaps there may be other methods other than litigation, but ... would it be possible that sometimes one needs a large deterrent in order to either:
1) keep the student in, accelerated
2) transfer them elsewhere?

Also, as per being prepared to change them... perhaps they should not be changed too easily lest the temptation of procrastination? But in hindsight I do not really regret my past, simply wished for an earlier grade skip even if my social/EF skills weren't the best and that is what I would stand on.

I hope that the child matter is not emphasized too deeply because I believe there is partial responsibility for such decisions... but honestly?

It's a bit unpopular, but I'm honestly fine with trading off some GPA in exchange for being accelerated because sometimes life has to move on and sometimes the kid's goal is to get out earlier. In that case would it be possible to look at their not great EF and say OK take him to full time university?
