S/O for people who oppose “social promotion,” who’s going to pay for it?

That would mean an individual kid going to public school for like 15 years (they will drop due to the embarrassment of being a 20 yo senior before that, though). Also, some say schools should just permanently kick the bad kids out. Yay, a bunch of listless 13-15 year olds roaming!

It's cheaper than incarceration!

Put these kids in the vocation track. Their life would be much better and have marketable skills than graduating with a worthless degree and working for $15/hr in retail or hospitality. Or even worst getting into trouble and in jail

How is that equitable?

There are no worthless bachelor’s degrees. Average student debt for undergrad is low.

If schools intensively intervened in first, second grades, and third grades instead of waiting for kids to fail and not learn how to read it wouldn’t cost that much compared to all the money didn’t in literacy coaches and equity coaches and programs. The most equitable thing schools can do is to teach kids to read well.

If they turn 18 while still in school, and nowhere close to graduation, why wouldn't they want vocational track? They obviously aren't going directly to college unless something massive changes.

A little authoritarianism/paternalism never hurt anyone, eh?

Nobody has massive student loans for undergrad.

These kids are not graduating. If they get into college they are put in remedial classes, struggle, and have a high drop out rate. Then they default on their loans or can’t pay it all back and get hammered on their credit rating.

That’s “their” problem then. Who is “they”?

Sorry I am opposed to blocking poor kids from going to college.

Social promotion isn’t just for poor kids??? Grade inflation is rampant everywhere. Look at all the white kids getting A’s in high school despite being able to write a decent essay.
