[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Repeat the grade if the student does not have the basic skills. My grandfather had to do this twice during his education. He still became a 1%er. If a student cannot do basic 3rd grade math it really prevents them from working a lot of jobs or becoming business owners. They won't be able to be a professional painter as they will be unable to quote the jobs. They won't be able to own a landscaping company again as they won't be able to estimate fertilzer or mulch needed for a yard. Social promotion does not benefit the children.[/quote] You realize that race and SES would be the main distinguishing factor for test results though. I would argue it is not race but family structure being the main trait. Culture in 2nd. Economic class 3rd. Race/Ethnicity 4th. A lot of the childrens succes comes from the educational success of the mother.[/quote]
