“if you needed to repeat a year of school, you just did. It felt harsh in the moment but looking back oh boy it was the correct thing to do.”
Was it really? My read of the research is its mixed at best, and most effective at younger grades with targeted interventions.
I never repeated a grade though, is your assertion based on experience or how are we defining “correct”?
- znpy 20d ago> My read of the research is its mixed at best Research is irrelevant, we have empirical evidence now: new generations can’t read and show overall lower cognitive abilities.
- techblueberry 20d agoBecause they weren’t held back in school? Not… you know…. Gestures everywhere But really, if we failed the first time, what makes you think we’ll be more successful the second?
- znpy 20d ago“Gestures everywhere” really? Is that your argument?
- techblueberry 20d agoActually the second part was my argument. But gestures everywhere isn’t a bad backup. look I admit a sort of charming romance in the idea Of a stricter more conservative education system, I just don’t think the data supports such simple remedies.
