Summer school

[kellifer]

So, any and all assistance appreciated from my US counterparts... I have some specific questions about Summer School for a story that's been rolling around in my head for a little while. Since I'm is Aus and we don't really have it here... there's some things I don't know...

1. When does it run? Is it a specific time or is it up to the region/school (both the months and the hours - is it a 9-3 thing?).

2. Do you go for one subject/multiple/only the ones you need to make up (and on that...)

3. Is it likely to go if you've missed enough school through the year that you would fail otherwise?

4. Can you go to any summer school (not just the one run by the school you've just attended)?

My son's school allows you to take some classes in the summer to make room for more advanced classes in their senior year. Those typically run all day for a couple of weeks. There are several sessions throughout the summer

Attendance is mandatory in most districts and they will make you go to summer school or repeat a class if you miss too many days.

Schools are very particular about where you live and it is almost impossible to go to a school in another district. I have only heard about special needs children being sent to different programs in other districts if their current school can not support an appropriate program.

Hope this helps
