Is Holding a Student Back From Going To the Next Grade Based On One Standardized Test Appropriate?
![]()
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Chancellor Joel Klein are, after socially promoting kids in order to keep crowded classrooms simply crowded, now plan to keep all those children who cannot pass the third grade, (based upon their score on the third grade standardized test), back. Is this a political maneuver, so that the State 4th grade test will look good? Or, will this new policy assure our children years of ridicule and increase the numbers of teachers leaving the schools, as their class sizes increase to - or above - the legal limits, with bored children mixed with younger ones eager to learn?
