Lauren,

I have a friend who tried to subject accelerate her son to second grade math. In order to do that, the school required him to take the END of second grade math exam and pass in order to subject accelerate him to second grade. I know it doesn't make sense, but it happens. I think school doesn't want to accelerate a student only to find out that he/she will drag down their score. Like Taminy said, I get it, but I don't get it.
