There is a VAST difference between Malia's situation and someone who has been through all the grades (like in your example of foster-care children). Malia is, in the eyes of the public and therefore the school system, a feral child.

There is a precedence for feral children. Putting them in a grade with their peers? That's not the precedent.

And even if it was, having her go do a math problem on the board is appallingly abusive. (Especially because that teacher HAD to have known Malia's skill level at this point, it's not like it was the first day.)
