My article was called Students Held Back Did Better written by Jennifer Medina. It talked about how student who were held back in school did better. Some students who struggled with work in fifth grade got held back and actually did better in the next years. Instead of being the one to always struggle they seemed to be at the same pace as everyone else. This shows that instead of passing kids because we don't want to hurt their feelings or for other reason we should hold them back a grade (if they are struggling in school). This would help the child in the future because then they wouldn't be the one always needing extra help because they would be in the same place the rest of the class is in.
