  Case: Age is a problem
Mrs. Honeycutt has a student in her 7th grade class that is 16 years old. He is constantly disrupting the class and does no work at all. All the kids try their best to impress him even if it means breaking rules. When this student is not at school everything runs much smoother. This student also bullies younger students because he is much older and larger. What should be done about this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
His work and comprehension level need to be looked at because he may be acting out because he doesn't understand. But also he need to be reevaluated to see if he can move up a grade

Comments: I do not agree with trying to reevaluate the student to move him up a grade. This student is obviously very far behind and should not be forced into the next grade level when he is still not understanding 7th grade material.

Comments: I agree that his comprehension levels need to be looked at, but the student seems to have been retained for some reason(s). I'm not sure that moving him up a grade would be helpful or productive for the student.
