    To point the problem more clearly.

    If student Numbskull repeats the grade. That means the their low scores affect you in Year 1 and Year 2. That’s funding directly affecting you, your compensation, your ability to remain employed for you, the teacher, and all of the admin staff.

    It’s much better (for you) to push them along and make them someone else’s problem.

    It’s like the Peter Principal in action.

      They don’t take the test until grade 4, so repeating grade 3 does not impact funding being student population.
