[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they so confident? Are they going to make kids repeat grades, so each class will have some older kids in it?[/quote] I hope so. That's one of the things I like about the school. Disruptive kids who can't hack it don't continue to disrupt.[/quote] Having kids repeat grades doesn’t work. If a kid doesn’t understand the academics in a particular grade, they need specialized intervention. Just the kid sit through the same content twice won’t do a thing. Additionally, kids who are retained are more likely to drop out since they legally can on their 18th birthday. That’s why schools don’t do it anymore. [/quote]
