Or If she repeats the grade, she can go back and learn what she missed and actually be prepared for 10th grade. But the question really is does she have the determination to do better in school. If she doesn’t, then it won’t matter if she repeats the grade or not because she won’t be interested in learning the material, and it would actually be better for her to move on with high school so she can graduate faster. Ask her what she wants.</p>
