[quote=Anonymous] [quote] Let’s start with ending social promotion. Can’t read by third grade, you repeat third grade. That way, middle schoolers aren’t acting up to disguise they can’t do the work. Teachers won’t be blamed for deficiencies that happened five years earlier in another school. And parents will have an accurate view of their child’s abilities.[/quote] I’m not sure why you think there is social promotion in MCPS. The move towards transparency ended that. You either earn the passing grade or you don’t pass the class. There is a formula that is preset for determining whether you pass. Thing is that failing a class or two isn’t going to hold you back a grade. It just means that you take it in summer school or take it again another year. Also, while I agree that not reading by third grade is a problem, holding a kid back if they are passing everything else is a ridiculous concept. [/quote]
