[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So even a D at Basis will pass? [/quote]

A "D" is passing in most secondary schools in the country. Unfortunately, an "F" is passing in most DCPS schools since they have social promotion!![/quote]

Yet, retention hasn't proven to be an effective remedy for kids who are below grade level. If they didn't get the material the first time, having them sit though it again often doesn't help.  The student's individual learning problems need to be addressed, and they need to see a different presentation of the material.[/quote]

BASIS already is offering specialized help for struggling students. What makes you think they will not do the same if a student repeats a grade. Also, social promotion does [b]not[/b][u] seem to be working for DCPS's 41% attrition rate via students dropping out altogether :roll: Then, what about the all too many students who "graduate" from DCPS with a lack of proficiency in reading and basic math?? Where was all of that individualized help for those students that DCPS failed to help?[/quote]
