Open Quote Dishonest Principal

I am the parent of a child with learning disabilities. The principal suggested that my child repeat a grade because of the difficulties that he was having with math and reading. She said that he would barely be able to hang on in the next grade.

This sounds like reasonable advice, but I happen to know that teachers are all taught that retention should never be recommended for a child with a learning disability because it does no good. Instead, it almost inevitably results in psychological harm.

So why did Mrs. Sheiko recommend we do this? Is she ignorant of this fact? Or perhaps more interested in the higher test scores that would result when a child repeats a grade?
Test scores are used to evaluate principals. Was that her reason? I think so. Close Quote
