So what grade is Bates in? I wrote down that he had graduated, which I guess is wrong.
Richard, do not answer unless your answer is going to be one of the following replies:

"No, you are correct, Ethan did graduate."
"Yes, you were wrong, Ethan is in the 10th grade this year."
"Yes, you were wrong, Ethan is in the 11th grade this year."
or
"Yes, you were wrong, Ethan is in the 12th grade this year."
