[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 421770, member: 7948"] Bucking the trend a bit here but I am never in favor of holding a kid back. Every study you care to look at shows that, no matter how "good" the reasons, when you hold a child back you increase their risk of dropping out by = well you pretty much are looking at a future drop out. The older the child the greater the risk that they will not graduate. And holding them back, even if they do graduate, has not been shown to be an effective intervention. I realize I don't know the back story here but I found myself wondering... Why is she not in a stand alone ED classroom for them to deal with this and take you out of the equation? Why is she getting special lunches if she isn't doing her work? Why hasn't her IEP been modified/updated with some different strategies since the current one is clearly not successful if she still hasn't done work from November? Patricia [/QUOTE]
