Researchers have found that retention is not a successful strategy. Vote NO on House Bill 4822, and leave that decision to local school districts and parents.
Why is this important?
My children are both in elementary school, and are both very different learners with varying strong points. Holding a child back a grade because the child is not proficient in one subject is not the answer. While I am supportive of a researched based reading intervention policy that increases student literacy, the proposed bill is overly prescriptive and includes many implementation problems. Vote NO on House Bill 4822!
