[quote=Anonymous]I have nothing to do with these parents or that particular school, however, there ought to be a mass outcry against the social promotion in our public schools. This has to stop! There must be consequences for CAPE results and any additional tests and students must have the opportunity to repeat their classes if they fail. Students right now take everything lightly because there aren’t really major consequences. They get by with the bare minimum. This will eventually create a diverse age group, has the potential to motivate students to be more studious and will improve test scores particularly when they reach middle and HS with a more academically strong cohort. Ultimately, people will become more graceful towards red-shirting and/or re-shirting my decrease because now the parents can observe their kid in K and the student can repeat if they are underperforming. Over the long run, this is a win. Albeit costly.[/quote]
