Retention has been a hot topic as a way to "bring #students up to speed" next school year. The reality is that it is not the answer. There is no research proving it as an effective strategy & with an effect size of -0.32, it should not be to solution. ow.ly/wOQm50DEEGV

To me this is an under-recognized aspect of the Finland/U.S. comparison re: early years. Relative simplicity of Finnish language (“shallowness of orthography”) is a huge advantage, much easier to wait on reading instruction. Still right about importance of play though I think.
