RE: NOOOOOOO, I need to repeat my grade - Information for kids

Here it is extremely rare to hold a child back anymore. They used to do it a little more often in the past but not anymore. The impact that this might have on them socially and emotionally has been deemed as too detrimental to the child’s development to hold them back. So what has happened is we have a lot of children who are in classes that can’t keep up unfortunately. It makes it harder for these kids to catch up. I don’t think there will ever be an appetite for holding kids back with any regularity it I can see some Benifits.

That is so true and I believe in not breaking down kids but this just 'pushing them through school' and end up with kids that cannot spell or read or believe that life owes them something and there are no consequences for their decisions is a big problem

Absolutely agree and that couple with this culture of entitlement that we are seeing more and more makes for a scary future sometimes.
