[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids performing below grade level should not advance to the next grade. They should make the grade placements based on ability and knowledge instead of age. [/quote] This is a really good point. How can you keep moving up these kids who can’t read? Keep them an extra year until they can meet the bare minimum requirements. At BCC graduation several years ago, the graduation speaker was a former counselor of some sort who spent a good 20 minutes naming and celebrating the troublemakers of the school. It was so sad. I often wonder how those kids are doing now out in the real world, without any basic math or reading skills and being told for most of their lives that cutting class and fighting was somehow cute.
