CBSE — DETAINING IN SAME CLASS

Address:

Kolkata, West Bengal

My son is studying in class VI and before publishing the final result after SA-2, the class teacher and the principal madam are asking to give my consent for keeping my son in same class due to poor performance. They are holding the result and asking the consent letter for detention, which has created big mental pressure in the mind of my son. My question to you : What is the system of promotion and detention in CBSE ? Why the school authority is asking to give me a written consent for detention in the class VI?
