[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all of this excessive red shirting, people are forgetting that statistically *some* of these kids are going to have to repeat a grade. The US average is 7%, about 3 million kids are held back each year. So with the red shirting trend, the future is going to have a whole bunch of 20 year old HS seniors. Crazy.[/quote] No, because the criteria for holding a kid back (which has been trending downward for quite a long time now, as research shows it doesn't work) is based partly on age. A child being old for the grade would, in any decent school, make them ineligible for retention.[/quote]
