From PTA meetings to student-teacher conferences to the pages of your daily newspaper, the term “social promotion” is becoming a familiar, and sometimes emotional, topic of discussion. It happens when teachers decide to pass students on to the next grade even though they know they have not met the standards of achievement for the current grade. For decades, it’s been done, usually subconsciously, to avoid damaging children’s self-esteem. But over the past few years the rules and rhetoric around the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act and concerns about high school students who are unqualified for graduation have led scores of educators to curtail the practice.
And yet the most obvious alternative – ‘grade retention’ – has engendered a good bit of tense discussion as well. While conventional wisdom would lead many to believe that students have a better chance of mastering material by going through a year’s worth of schooling a second time, many educators and organizations, including the national Association of School Psychologists, argue that many of these students develop social and behavioral problems that inhibit their long-term academic achievement.
