I got held back in 3rd grade because my 3rd grade teacher wasn't even teaching anything right and she didn't like me so she held me back. When I had to redo 3rd grade my new 3rd grade teacher was great so I passed! (( she was actually making me learn new stuff )).

Iam now in 8th grade when I'm suppose to be in 9th grade so I need your help , please tell me what I can do to get myself in the right grade which is 9th. I had something in mind.. the thing I had in mind was to take 8th grade classes in the summer and when its done ill get all of my report and give them to whoever I'm suppose to give it to so they can put me in 9th grade , the grade I'm suppose to be in!

It would be best for you to talk to your school counselor and probably the high school counselor too, whichever one you'd be transferring to. They'll be able to help you determine if it's really in your best interest and if so, the best way to go about it.

I bet if I talk to my teachers and stuff they are not going to understand what I'm trying to say.

Clearly, you are not ready to skip a grade. Not only did you fail to read the rules regarding reps (reddies are only supposed to be given for factually incorrect advice), but instead of trying the advice you've been given you'd rather sit here and whine about how it won't work without giving it a chance.

And did you even read my answer?I did not say talk to your teachers. Although it's probably not a bad idea to talk to them too. I said talk to the school counselors. They will know what you can do. That's their job.

Or would you rather take a bunch of classes over the summer, waste your whole summer break, and not get anywhere because neither school had any idea what your plan was because you failed to communicate what you wanted? Yeah, that sounds like an awesome summer break. Grow up, stop being a brat just because you don't like the advice you were given.

There's this thing that you can be in school for the summer and then you could skip 9th... So you could go to tenth.

And where are you getting this information from? Are there requirements to do this? Is it offered and available at every school?
