Every student in Pennsylvania is eligible to repeat a grade to make up for COVID-19 learning losses, but families who want to exercise that right have to move quickly.
Legislation signed by Gov. Tom Wolf last week gives parents until July 15 to notify schools of their intention to have their children take advantage of the option. The new law, known as Act 66, also gives students with disabilities who turned 21 during the 2020-21 school year the opportunity to stay for another year.
Pennsylvania is one of a number of states that have passed such laws.

That's right. It is unfair that students should have to be held back another year for academic issues which neither they, their parents, their instructors, nor the schools are responsible for. But it is even more unreasonable to rush families into making that decision in one week.
Idk why, but this angers me lol.
Not sure that students would want to leave their friends, and drop back a class? 🤔
