You don't just magically mature because you're aging.''' The teenage years are developmentally a HUGE deal, most especially socially. They pretty much form the basis for how functional you are as an adult. So to go eight years without being a part of society -- especially THOSE eight years -- you're NOT going to be functional in society, you're not going to be functional in high school.

Even overlooking all of the social developments she's missed -- and the fact that mentally she's an animal (literally) not a human -- take into account that she hasn't learned any math, English, science etc since the third grade and now she's getting put into the 10th or 11th grade? She's also missed some vital things like health classes -- sex ed? I mean, she is automatically going to fail all of her classes simply because she doesn't have the vocabulary they expect of someone in that grade.

You don't just magically turn into a coyote either in the real world to be fair....

People shouldn't be applying an exact 100% realistic science to something that is A) fiction and B) Supernatural. We will probably get some vaguely possible explanation that works in a world with werewolves, hunters, kanimas, etc.
