Hope rises from ashes after Paul Robeson school burns in Detroit
The flames were gone, but the smoldering roof at Paul Robeson Academy was enough to drive founder and former principal Ray C. Johnson to his knees.

How can I challenge my child’s high school for not letting him graduate because they won’t accept home school?

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 19:17:42 +0000

My childs has special needs and I felt he was falling behind at shool. I pulled him for a year to help him get caught up in the areas he was struggling. I have re-enrolled him, but they will not allow him to graduate. He tests higher than a third of the students on the ACT and test about average on the state exam (MEAP). It seems they have a vendetta against home school. I have talked with the vice principal, principal, and superintendent. They have been misleading in statements and unwilling to change. What steps should I take and who should I contact to allow my child to graduate from the high school. Other schools may allow him to graduate, but when I asked him about attending another school, he said he would rather stay at the high school that he had attended. I have had 3 other children graduate from the school with honors, and have 3 others that will attend the school as well. We are in Macomb county, MI
