There's no way we can ignore any comment of this kind.

There was absolutely no truth to what was said.

I hate to see any test be a high-stakes test. Some students are good test-takers, others are not. (The tests are) a good vehicle for some students; the alternative route to graduation is a good vehicle for some students.

We'll work with the parents and the student on this. We'll certainly give the student the advice and support he needs to avoid such a problem in the future. We'll definitely have some remediation in what's not appropriate to say.
