Social promotion[edit]

  • Arguments against social promotion
  • Arguments for social promotion
  • Statistics
  • History
  • References

These are the things that I think need reviewing. (Xtremeruna21)

  • The article appears biased against social promotion. Evidence of this is the sentence "which are very important before entering the high school" in the lead and the placement of "Arguments against social promotion" before "Arguments for social promotion". You might also consider removing "not necessarily valid". Where you say social promotion was stopped you need to explain how was it stopped. Was there a bill introduced in New York City, standardized tests that needed to be passed to move to the next grade, etc. You need to provide evidence that the practice is being used at elementary and middle school level. You need to explain if it varies from one school/school board to the next. More discussion of research in the area or related to the area would also benefit the article. Finally, inline citations would be really useful in an article like this. Cedars 03:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
