[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mississippi also holds kids back in 3rd grade if they are not on grade level, which I think we need to do in FCPS. Kids who are not on grade level should be retained and the earlier they do it the more likely kids will catch up. We are promoting kids for emotional health who then fall further behind, which cannot be good for their emotional health or academic confidence. [/quote] Public school education is a benefit of living in the US - one of the very few free things that you are ever given. If that education is failing your child, your child should be entitled to an extra year and intense support. I don't know why holding kids back is seen as such a negative. [/quote]
