Maybe they should use Orton Gillingham in schools and help kids instead of repeat the year over
elisabelaslate All right💋
This policy started in Mrs. Crocker’s classroom the first day she taught third grade.
1 in 5 kids in schools today are dyslexic.A language based learning disabilities that’s largely overlooked in our schools.
That sets the Democratic Party back a year
How about for state legislators, educators, and judges.
How about how well they can speak, and pronunciate words properly. I see plenty of high level politicians who speak incorrectly in public on the news, especially those from minority groups. Its time to at least force summer school on anybody until 9th grade to improve both areas.
Good and thank you
Maybe it is time that we start teaching what they need to know and quit with whatever it is they do. They don't know math or history or how to put together a correct sentence. Why do we want to dumb down our students?
Terrible idea
They should also upgrade the sentence construction of high schoolers. Stop the like ...like ...like.
Whilst it may seem harsh to some, best to have this implemented for the benefit of the young ones.
Repeating the grade will not be enough if they do not get to the core reason as to why the child cannot read.
Well , it looks like all of Trumps supporters have to go back to the 3ed grade and give it another go.
Yet they are failing to do adequate screening, provide scientific based reading instruction or offer appropriate intervention. Holding a child back is abusive.
Just wondering, 17 years later how is Florida's education rating in the USA? The real question is why do we keep doing things that are proven not to work in education?
Better solution: High quality preschool, wrap around support in first five years, if retention is needed, do so at K or 1st grade at the latest and cautiously so. The later the retention, the more risk of stigma. Early intervention is better than retention.
What about the students level of math?
Was NY one of them? And does it apply retroactively?
Seems reasonable. Kids who can’t read in third grade won’t have jobs or teeth by the time they turn 18. And don’t blame the teachers, blame the republicans who don’t give a shit about access to quality education and the parents who believe it’s not their job to teach RWA.
Didn't you post this exact same thing 4 hours ago?
When I was young it was 1st grade.
Soooo much better to train them over summer.
90% of Florida students from 2002 are still in the 3rd grade.
Better than just letting them pass through school never rectifying the problem
And FL essentially ended it 3 years ago after it went terribly.

NPR Choice pageIs Sanders still boycotting it? I think Warren Warren2020 has the progressives... now she has to work on getting others on board. Framing her policies as not attacks but rather to start to unrig a totally biased financial system would be a start. Gotta appeal to masses or she won't get elected...

NPR Choice pageThis is a travesty Keyword: Illegal There is NO excuse to NOT get your citizenship in 30+ years. Actions have consequences. (It is unfortunate at times) There is roughly a million people in the US with removal orders & those with criminal histories are the ones being sought. If your children serve in our military it should be an automatic and IMMEDIATE path toward citizenship. PERIOD.

NPR Choice pageBut - But, this is socialism! These kids could wind up being as unhealthy as Danish children!!! I struggle to make sense of this meaningless propaganda piece. Maternal and infant mortality drop the most when women’s status in society rises not with provision of mass medical care. Diarrheal diseases are the foremost killer of children under 5. Formula contributes to deaths. Syringes and bandages to combat malaria and sepsis? Either the journalist missed some key points of this miraculous death rate drop or they purposefully wrote a manipulative propaganda piece to mislead the public about the power of medicine.
