Made my son cry for no reason
I signed my sons up for coco coders earlier this year and my sons (8 and 10) LOVED IT. They both started in scratch, within several lessons my 10 year old was promoted to p5js. It took my 8 year old several extra weeks but was eventually moved in p5js as well. I had to pause our membership last month as track and field conflicted with our schedule but was told our spots would be reserved and they received weekly recorded lessons so they could keep pace with their lessons and not be left behind. The video lessons were great and my sons were able to keep up and do the lessons on their own time which was great. Yesterday we returned to live lessons only to find out my 8 year old had been moved all the way back down to scratch, not based on his ability but because they put 12 and 13 year olds in his class. If age was going to be an issue why would you praise him and move him up? He cried asking what he did that he was "demoted" and removed from his brother's class when he worked so hard to get there. Their e-mail about the situation said it was to "better support his confidence" and you guys crushed it with this nonsense move.

I'm really sorry to hear this — something has clearly gone wrong here, and I completely understand your frustration. We work incredibly hard to make our lessons a great experience for every child, and it’s upsetting to hear we’ve fallen short in this case. I’m looking into this personally right now and will be in touch by email very shortly.
