My daughter was supposed to begin primary school last Wednesday. According to their policy, she would be in grade 4. She started grade 2 in her school in the US this year (which is on level for her age there- the cut off for birthdays is august 31 she was born in december). They want to jump her 2 grades to grade 4 because of their age policy (their age group goes to dec 31). I have called and emailed the principal trying to get her placed in grade 3 and he has not given me an answer. They do not seem to care that she is missing school!
Has anyone successfully dealt with this before? Any way to get an exception to the policy? Who can I go to beyond the Principal?
