It isn’t hyperbole.
You can fail math all year long, but achieve the bare minimum in the subject during your annual standardized test and pass to the next grade.
Course credits/grades do not ~~affect~~ limit? progression in many/most? US school districts before high school.
- wuliwong 2y agoWas that the case in the 1960s/1970s because that was when the author was in elementary through high school? I graduated high school in 1995 and what you are describing was not the case at my school nor any other school that I knew of at that time.
- dragonwriter 2y agoI know of districts using some degree of social promotion, but I’ve never heard of one promoting on performance but using standardized tests alone instead of class grades or clearing a certain bar for both grades and standardized test as the performance criteria.
- aegypti 2y agoNot social promotion, explicitly illegal in my state at least. School year F -> STAR test minimum + intervention or summer school D -> graduates
