My husband is a game warden, and is in the middle of teaching a hunter education class. The minimum age of licensed hunters in Idaho recently changed to allow 10 year-olds to hunt upland game birds (pheasant, grouse, etc.). So he's got some pretty young kids in his class.
Additionally, he has a boy in his class with a learning disability. My husband volunteered at the local elementary school last year and tutored this boy in reading. The little guy really is not comprehending very well, and right now he is not doing well at all in this class. So my husband is faced with a tough decision: does he call this boy's guardians and let them know that the little guy is not going to pass the class and that it might be kindest to pull him out before the kid fails the final exam in front of all his friends (this is very rare and extremely disappointing for Idaho kids), or does he go ahead and let the boy finish the class and then not pass him at the end? It's not like he can safely let the boy slide and just go ahead and give him a hunting license. I'm sure you understand the implications there.
What would you do?
