[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure that requiring kids to do extra work in order to get to the next grade is "social promotion". "Social promotion" to me is defined as moving a kid up even if they have consistently demonstrated an inability to master the grade level material. Latin does give children the chance to revise/retake a failed test, do extra credit work, and/or attend summer school. But if the child does not take advantage of the opportunities given, or repeatedly fails despite completing those opportunities, then I doubt that Latin would pass them. I do know that Latin---which is committed to its mission to educate kids coming from all parts of the city---is constantly trying to help kids who are coming from less advantaged households or DCPS elementary schools without sacrificing curriculum rigor. It is a difficult balancing act and I witness the teachers working hard to achieve it. [/quote]
