Because of this Chavon had to be put in the
lowest math course of the school. She was
depressed the entire semester, until.....

Her teacher realized that she does not belong
in the class. She moved her up one level since
her counselor refused to help.
Chavon also worked hard the next summer so that
she would be in the correct math course by her
sophomore year.
