This is a question for those in the USA

I think it depends upon

a) how "not well", and

b) how good the local school board is.


For decades, we have suffered from

1) "social promotion" to keep a child with his/her class grade

2) attempts to dumb down standards rather than smarten up kids

3) accepting the notion that some/many people "can't be taught <x>"

4) not caring about local school standards when angry parents get involved

5) not

• notifying parents/guardians at the earliest possible time that a student is falling behind, and

• doing intensive work to get the child back on track

6) allowing Texas to set the tone for school textbooks

7) allowing local control of how curricular standards are met

8) allowing home schooling

9) continuing to use non-subject-specialist teachers in K-5

That can happen, though honestly it doesn't as often as it should, based on the trends of declining proficiency test scores.

There can also be remedial teaching to help catch "them up". Far too often if borderline, they are just passed along to the next level.

It depends on the school district, but yes, students do repeat grades for lack of performance. Many schools do suggest tutoring as a way of helping the child improve enough to pass the grade level currently in.

I think it depends on how poorly they do/how old they are/how the parents will react and how it'll affect the school. I'm pretty sure I had some sophomore kids in my class that finally got ejected cuz they were 18 and were developing beards. in theory there's supposed to be a progression - more work/individual attention, different classes, different schools, eventually held back.

Seems like they dumb down the whole class to meet the need of the slower student.

Don't know if thats true or not. But sure feels like that

At time's he or she can make it up in summer school. If it is really bad then he or she fails and would have to repeat

Sometimes, yes.

Yes or they just push them through anyway
