I teach 4th grade and have recommended retaining students who read and write at a 1st-2nd grade level. I know the thought by our admin is : that the negative effect and documented research of increased drop-out of students who are retained is not worth retaining students---so students have been retained who are below grade level and achieved only D's and F's for the year on their report cards several times with months of absences. Don't know if that is the case here but I can only speak what I have seen.
