I think I would change the title to show the problem better.

That would certainly be a bug, although a fairly minor one. The obvious workaround is to learn another skill. It would probably be best to choose a skill from the base game, just to be certain it gets counted.

@GreenBasment Have you been playing them in active school or have you been sending them to rabbithole school (or a mix of both)? Because if you've been doing active school with them everyday then I think the Cross Stitch skill might not actually be the issue here. I'm pretty sure I saw something similar happening with two of my teens, (but I didn't document it at the time so I'm not 100% clear on the details) who I think both had multiple level 2 skills that were all either base game or high school years skills, but if I remember correctly, the box didn't tick and their grades didn't increase, until one weekday they had the day off school due to a Seasons holiday, and that afternoon/evening it suddenly resolved and their grades went up.
I think maybe the game treats end of school day grade progression checks differently depending on whether you're doing active or rabbithole high school, (I don't know how intentional this would be) but if you have a forced day off it thinks you're doing rabbithole school, because you didn't go to active school that day, and that kicks it into recognising that the level 2 skill condition has been met? Speculation on my part, but that's the best sense I can make of what I experienced.

This is working on my end - no cheats used either. 

Also @EA_Solaire not sure why this is tagged as HSY. The Grade tasks are a base game thing for levelling up school grades.
