[quote=Anonymous]I'm the pp with the ADHD dd. Here is some of the research that I did. In addition, students who have been retained typically have been required simply to repeat the same curriculum they’ve already failed--a prescription for failure, some research suggests. When these children finally are promoted, they often end up on a school’s lowest academic track studying a watered-down curriculum that ensures they’ll remain behind. "Research shows that children don’t get better over time, especially if they’re held back as 1st graders," says Reynolds, who has followed a cohort of students in the Chicago Public Schools. According to Reynolds’s work, children who are retained in 1st grade are usually among the most underperforming students, and when they are retained in grade, they fall further behind. [/quote]
