One of the important questions considering education in the U.S.A. is the issue of academic progress. Some students really struggle while completing their academic tasks. As a result, some of them have to repeat a grade once again. However, some people think that such thing should not take place.

Grade retention is a pretty old-fashioned method of trying to improve the knowledge and skills of students who fail a year. The students are bad at assignment writing, making researches, projects and so on? Some would advise to do it over again! Nevertheless, some school psychologists claim that grade retention induces even more problems. Which one are these?

A special study found out that the harm to the students and inefficacy of the educational program are actually great. Amongst these are:

Only short-term gains. The gains in the year of a repetition, the kids show a definite progress and academic improvements. Nonetheless, this lasts for some 2-3 years. Afterward, they live through a constant stagnancy and losses.
Long-term losses. The age differences among the children likewise induce great complications. This leads to a huge possibility that such children would drop out of school.
Emotional devastation. Retention also develops emotional complications. The kids feel a great lack of confidence and think that they are incompetent and incapable. They receive overly high stress.
Unfairness. Some experts are sure that retention is not always used equitably. In most occasions, the children from poor family undergo a retention procedure.
