Can you be forced to leave your child back?

Amy @simpleliving3251120 (497) • Manahawkin, New Jersey 19 Oct 15

I have heard that school's can longer force parents to leave their child back if they are struggling in school. Does anybody know if this is true? I think it is called the "no child left behind law."

No Child Left Behind? What do you think?

baileym11 @baileym11 (887) • United States 11 Dec 06
