[quote=Anonymous]Pp: you are probably correct that the research shows social promotion WITH PROPER REMEDIATION is in the best interest of the struggling student. However, as with many issues, DCPS does not show itself as capable of providing the proper remediation ( abundant evidence ) so this makes the research null and void in this context. If you take out major factor that makes social promotion work ( good teaching ) then you get a major mess when you implement it here. Not good for anyone. So when I see this 9th grade academy idea, and it seems to be good for the students all around, it makes me think that in the DC context of barely functioning schools, it may be we need more of it. Despite what research in ideal circumstances says.[/quote]
