[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think elementary students will make a concerted effort to pass if they know that they will be held back otherwise (a stigma to avoid). It's a very powerful incentive. [/quote] Average elementary school students are not generally able to hold a goal in mind for 12 months and organize around it. Kids with serious academic delays often have difficulties in other areas that make it even harder for them to do this. Similarly, once held back, the majority of elementary and middle schoolers will work less hard than they did the previous year, not harder. [/quote]
