15 in 8th grade equates to flunking out once. Which, back when you actually had to apply yourself to your studies wasn’t uncommon, but it wasn’t that, neither. Flaking out in a system such as we witness these days is nearly impossible but I guess it does happen.

If he started at 6 he would be 14 in the 8th grade.
