Never Late, Never Away Chapter 895
Vivian totally disregarded him and went ahead to go meet the school principal.
“Ms. Clark, what do you think about Larry skipping a grade?”
Vivian told the principal everything after she met her at her office, but the latter found her proposal absurd.
This was unprecedented in the school.
The school was a relatively new one and Vivian chose to send Larry to this school simply because it was near her workplace.
She did not expect Larry to know more than what his classes were teaching. In fact, even Larry himself was surprised he already knew everything taught in class.
“But if you insist, we can let him take a test for each grade. If he fails a particular grade’s exam, we’ll put him in that grade. What do you think?” the principal suggested.
Although it would be time-consuming, Vivian thought that was a good idea, so she agreed to it.
She asked that the school principal keep this a secret since she did not want other kids to see Larry differently.
Although other children might think Larry was super smart, they might also marginalize him for being different from them.
Vivian did not want her child to face this kind of discrimination from her friends.
Ms. Clark agreed and started making arrangements for Larry to take the examinations.
When the principal summoned Larry to his office, the boy was taken aback to see his parents there. “Daddy? Mommy?” On second thought, he soon understood the reason for their presence.
Vivian shot him an assuring smile and took a quick look at the school principal.
“I talked with Ms. Clark just now. She said she’ll let you take each grade’s exam,” she explained.
“Yeah, you just need to answer the questions on the papers,” the principal added.
Larry nodded and went over to the office table.
There were a total of five test papers. If Larry were able to pass all these tests, he would be able to skip elementary school altogether.
Honestly speaking, Ms. Clark did not have high hopes for Larry. She did not think any kid would be able to go from second grade to junior high school.
But she got it all wrong.
