FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) More students attending classes in the fifth largest school district statewide are receiving failing grades. The virtual school year for Shannon Lake s son Chance, 18, started off rocky. The senior attends Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville.
Chance has made average grades, up until now. He managed to fail all four of his classes. He did not do early grad in December and now here we are next semester retaking the same four classes to make sure he actually graduates on time in the spring, said Lake.
According to Lake, before the COVID-19 pandemic, Chance was an average student who earned passing grades but virtual learning has been challenging. He s struggled with attention deficit disorder and with eight family members at home, including two toddlers, it s created more of a distraction.
