Interesting article for those of you who haven't already seen...
"When we moved here, the principal wanted to send me back to eighth grade and I felt like I was getting pushed back," Okoye said. "We came to an agreement. She decided, 'I'll keep you here for two weeks and how you perform determines if you stay or not.' After the first week she put me in some classes I already took. The reports got back and the teacher told her I had to be moved to upper classes. After that I pretty much stayed in high school."
