  • As many as 10,000 students across Ohio could be held back to repeat the third grade under the new "Third Grade Reading Guarantee" law.

      How is this fair to the students? I understand just pushing them a long is not good, but holding back that many students is bound to cause new problems for schools and students.
  • As written, the law permits third graders who simply don't take the test to be promoted, regardless of proficiency, StateImpact reports. That loophole has led parents in other states that have the same law keep their kids home on test days.

      When more parents find out about this loop hole won't many of them just start keeping their child home from testing days, if they are worried about them failing? How can educators stop that from happening?

      I have heard already that the state is no longer going to require the reading endorsement after next year? So I am curious what the actual requirements for teachers are going to be when it comes to the Third-grade guarantee.

  • Students entering third grade a year from now will be allowed to advance to fourth grade only if they achieve a minimum score on Ohio’s third-grade reading assessment.

      Wasn't this how it was with the 4th grade proficiency test? Student's could only move on if they passed a certain reading level?
  • Districts must take seriously the law’s requirement that they offer additional reading support to K-3 students who are identified as reading below grade level. High-quality, student-centered, intensive intervention—especially for first and second graders—should help more students read on grade level by the end of third grade and prevent mandatory retentions. Similarly, districts should consider retaining students earlier than third grade if they cannot read.

      What about the school distracts that do not have money to offer extra support? Will the state end up helping these schools get the extra support they need?
