    First learning to use proper english, and not text would be helpful.

    But you have your parents check and talk to the school. I assume you mean you are making all straight "A" so how did you do on the year end test, in the top 90 percent or better ?

    Does your school have a test for those wanting to skip, or perhaps take the year end test for the next grade level ?

    But it is up to your parents to discuss this with the school.

    Fr_Chuck is right, on both parts. It's kind of hard to believe you're a straight A student with this post.

    This is something you need to talk to your parents about, and they will have to make the final decision.

    Behave the worst thing to happen to the youth of this world is the cell phone sending written messages ( text) it is a phone, call them.

    But the same as here, text talking is against the rules, a poster does not even realize how poor it makes their writing look, too many even try and use it in school, and worst, some teachers let them get by with it.

    I stopped doing any sub teaching for many reasons, but one was I was told that in class I could not expect proper English, it was discrimination against the Minority students from the inner city and that I had to accept their ethnic language as acceptable and not try to correct them on proper use of words.
