We do, Amen and Amen. I asked a principle at on of our k-3 schools (they now call them campuses) what if our first grader did not learn enough to be put in second grade? She informed me that they do not retain kids in the same grade the following year. I then asked when we could expect extra help for a slow learner. She told me that they evaluate the kids in the third grade and then would provide adequate help. I then said, you have just destroyed this kids ability to learn and he/she will never get enough foundation to be successful. We opted for homeschool.
