[quote=Anonymous]What's worse? Being "humiliated" by the wake-up call of possibly having to repeat a grade because a school like Basis holds you to an expectation of actually learning the material (and, that [i]is[/i] after all why you are in school in the first place - to learn the material), or suffering the far greater, life-long humiliation that your school didn't care if you learned the material, and just socially promoted you from grade to grade, ultimately flinging you out into the adult world barely functional, barely able to read, add or subtract, and accordingly unprepared and unable to ever get a decent-paying job? It's frankly mind-boggling that anyone with a bonafide interest in DC's educational would [i]ever[/i] defend social promotion. Those who do have in effect already given up on the children's education and future. [/quote]
