Students should not be socially promoted to the next grade

Public school students should not be socially promoted. If student does meet the standards then for the benefit of the child you have them repeat the grade. If they end up repeating the same three or more times then they need to attend a special school. We also need to end standardized testing. These tests do not benefit the students only the administrators, politicians and teacher unions. We are not preparing our students for the future with social promotion it does not prepare the student for college or the real world by doing this. We need not all students will be Rhodes scholars and prepare some for a trade.
