[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the arguments against it is that kids will be bullied & socially excluded by their classmates if they repeat a grade.[/quote] I just had dinner with a friend who had to repeat 2nd grade. He turned out okay. We have a family member who had to repeat 11th grade. He is a 1%er now. I fail to see where holding students to standards negatively affects them.[/quote] Those are lovely anecdotes. 99.9% of kids would drop out if you told them they “had repeat 11th grade.” Because you can’t make a kid go to school past their 18th birthday.[/quote]
