[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s also a test of 4th graders and Mississippi makes a lot of kids repeat 3rd grade. Which means that a lot of kids in the Mississippi data are a year older, and have been in school a year longer, than kids from other states. [/quote] Yep. In general we are afraid to tell kids they aren’t good enough and need to try again. Good for them. Hold them back if they aren’t ready.[/quote] Studies show holding back only produces short term success. Yes you get better at 3rd grade after 2 shots but that will not necessarily make you better at ,7th grade [/quote] does this adjust for the differences in (academic) intelligence among the group of students who repeated 3rd grade and those who didn't? If not, then of course the former will struggle more. What matters is the difference between repeaters and identical students who also failed but did not repeat.[/quote]
