[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is always shot down, but we need to end social promotion. At least for a one year repeat. I understand the problem with holding back a student so that you have a 12 year old with 8 year olds, etc., but why not holding a kid back one year until their reading improves? No different than the red shirting some UMC patents do. OR classes like math and ELA are all broken out in MS so students are placed with like students, regardless of age? Base it on the PARCC scores, so the testing isn’t so useless.[/quote] There just isn't a lot of evidence that retention by itself works. https://www.brookings.edu/research/is-retaining-students-in-the-early-grades-self-defeating/ [/quote]
