Jonathan's school tells Angela that he should skip the 6th grade and go to the 7th grade.

Angela is called to the principal's office because Jonathan and his friend have been terrorizing the school. The principal tells Angela that she has expectations for Jonathan that are too high for a child that just skipped a grade, she wants him to be popular and have a lot of friends, and he is just trying to please her. Jonathan chooses to stay in 7th grade, even though Angela would let him go back to 6th.
