Grade retention

possible use of time and money. 12th grade is a free year of education which is a necessity for underprivileged students. Simply shipping off 11th graders to college without any money is not good for anyone. Senior year is a stepping stone to college as it allows you to experiment with more freedom before diving headfirst into college. On one hand some schools are attempting to make senior year more college like, while others allow students to stay for a 13th grade. On the other hand some people…

Georgia Milestones is to measure how well students have mastered the knowledge and skills charted in the state-adopted Common Core Standards in mathematics, language arts, social studies, and science. The test also shows students’ readiness for the next grade level. Although the Georgia Milestones is replacing the GCRCT, there are many modifications. The GCRCT was exclusively multiple choice and the students were directed to bubble in their answer choice, but the Georgia Milestones is…

stakeholders also want to keep students enrolled, at least until degree or program objectives have been fulfilled. It is a challenge for an institution built on the theme of easy access to limit easy exit (Cohen, Chapter 7 - Student Services, 2014). Retention Focus in the Classroom Nowhere is student success more apparent or more crucial than in the classroom. This is where special efforts should be made to ensure that students succeed. It is the place to learn, to experience, to understand…

the research community (Czubatyj, 2010). (Campell & Dickson, 1996) utilized a meta-analysis of studies which illustrated a link between successful program completions and students’ exam scores with the strongest correlation supporting preadmission grade point average (GPA). Wells' (2007) suggests social and external conditions, as well as academic factors contribute to program outcomes. However, there is a gap in the current literature as it lacks a methodical evaluation of findings which are…

of importance in the community. Ever since the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law was passed by the Bush Administration in 2001, the American education system has not been the same (Wagner, 2008). Teaching our students more about receiving a passing grade on standardized testing rather than teaching them for the advancement of their individual intellect, has caused a plummet in the United States global education ranking, putting us behind more than 16 countries in any given subject (Stewart, 2012).…

Studies have shown that high-stakes testing leads to increased retention and dropping out. In an article by Robert Schaeffer over the dangers of high stakes testing he says: "Grade retention has repeatedly been proven to be counterproductive: students who are retained do not improve academically, are emotionally damaged by retention, suffer a loss of interest in school and self-esteem, and are more likely to drop out of school." So therefore Schaffer…

A couple of key facts to remember were the effects that the four learning conditions had on the rate of which the foreign vocabulary words were learned, the predictions the student’s gave regarding their future performance, and the “long-termed retention” after waiting a week to take the final test. The article provides figure 1 which shows the cumulative proportion of the pairs of vocab words recalled during the learning phase, which also counts the first time a student recalled a word pair. On…

Hetherington I was intrigued. He is currently working on three different projects: the moral and ethical issues with retention in grade, why superintendents make the decisions they do, and how to improve teacher preparatory programs at UP. He studies a lot of relationships and decision making, which is immensely interesting because of how difficult that can become. In comparison…

ABSTRACT The Vocal or Instrumental sounds (or both) that combine to produce beauty, harmony and expression of emotions is termed as music. Music has a mesmerizing effect on individuals who may or may not be musically trained. This type of mesmerising effect is a pleasure to the auditory senses and the brain. It has been observed that the pleasurable effect produced by music is due to the release of Dopamine in the Forebrain. Thus music isn’t simply an art that is produced and performed for…
