[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you really care so much?  Until as a society we don’t put so much value in a HS diploma, it’s in all of our interests for as many people as possible to get them. That way they can get jobs. We don’t have to support people who have jobs. We don’t have to pass by people who work sleeping on the street because when you work, you can pay rent. And people who D out of HS aren’t going to take your kids’ spots in college. So I’m all for passing kids along. [/quote]

It seems like what Dr. Wright did in holding kids back who needed to be held back at third grade before it's too late is working. They're getting the reinforcement and re-education they need and getting back on track.

It's far better to hold back a few kids for that one year they're behind than to set them up for failure by never stopping to address the learning gaps and shuffling them along and watching as they continue to fail year after year.

Why is 3rd grade retention a bad thing in your eyes?[/quote]

It seems she just didn’t bother to count dropouts! Miracle
