How much is this an artifact of their apparent policy of keeping the dumb students in 3rd grade until they get passing grades?
We should be doing this with every grade. If you don’t receive passing marks, your arse stays there.

Sadly, if you can't read by 3rd grade, you probably never will. That part of brain development has passed.
They need to start doing these tests in 1st grade.

This is in Louisiana as well. Third graders take the dibbles test, if you don’t make what they consider a passing score, you stay back in third grade the following year.

Why would you send kids to the next grade if they haven't passed the previous grade in the first place?
People that don’t understand this would probably end up on Financial Audit with Caleb Hammer.

There was an article that was posted on the mississippi subreddit that went pretty in depth into the reason why alot of states implemented the 3rd to 4th grade rule...but they didnt fully do what Mississippi did that kind of sealed the results. Stuff got change on the admin level if I remember correctly. Relationship between state and school districts or something

Leaving children behind if they can’t read and let them repeat the grade
Shouldn’t be so controversial
