Right, to sum up who I am, 14, male with communication problems and I am the Mini tech support in the school. It has been after half term and they are going to give out our I.C.T groups (Basiclly stuff to do with computers if you don't know what I.C.T means) and I get put into the lowest group, fine, easy work for me. After the first week, I walked out with a shock, it was far too easy, really easy, even a 5 year old could do the stuff what we were doing. First lesson we were learning how to save a document. Then we had a test, I recieve the results and I aced it with ease I was thinking "Score! Time to get out of this dump" next thing before I know it, I'm not moved up to any higher set. I ask why, they simply said "You have communication Porblems and we don't you to get confused." Well, if he had looked at my results sheet, he would have noticed I got the highest score, in the entire year, I was insulted, deeply. Any advice on what to do to get me into a higher set? :-k

Try and explain to your teachers why you don't like it. I'm sure they'll understand. School is for learning, that's what you've gotta do.

I would suggest you keep working hard and getting high marks. Also, try and work on your communications skills? what kind of problems do you have? And also talk to your parents to see if you can convince them to talk to the school and get something changed manually.

It's what I have done, but they still won't move me up. Any other ideas?

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

My Communication Problems are I can't put words into a proper sentence and understanding some people. I might go ask my parents, thanks for that. The next Test though isn't for a while but I don't know when.

School is for learning. Make your teacher feel bad for holding you back.

Fix your communication problems.

Talk to the principal, if the teacher thinks lowly of you because of a disablilty, they should not be there. You deserve to be in an area that will challenge you and if you are not given that opportunity, then talk to your parents and possible take further action

Ya, that kind of sucks for you. When I was grade 2 I would get in tons of trouble because I'd distract other kids from doing their addition because I'd get it done so fast. My mom pushed for me to get bumped up into the 3rd grade but the school insisted that it would be "emotionally damaging" as I wouldn't fit in sociallly. Schools are dumb.

Well how can I? This is a life thing and you can't simply "Fix" it.

If it's the US public school system then you can get your parents to go in there and have you put into the higher class assuming there's no strong reason against you doing so(aka you're a [bleep] up)

Its like telling a deaf man to hear.

If I were in charge I'd say the kid is good with computers, he needs to be challenged more than he is.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's stupid that your teachers don't want you to get "confused" by moving you up. You don't have a learning disability, you have a communication problem. And from how you've written your posts, I'd say you can communicate perfectly. Is it just verbal communication that you struggle with? Heck, I can't communicate verbally and I'm ranked first my class. You really need your parents to bring up a case with the principal or administrator.
