[quote=Anonymous][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] [b]Having kids repeat grades doesn’t work. [/b]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] Works great for me and my kids. My kids' classes are filled with kids at or above grade level, and disruptive kids who want attention instead of to learn feel uncomfortable in an environment where academic success is prioritized and rewarded.
