Thank you to the person who sent me the links to the articles about 9th grade issues from Ebsco. Unfortunately I need a login to see the whole article and as the users of the website won't have this either I can't use the link. However I was fascinated by the abstract about how there is a bottleneck in 9th grade because of "poor" test scores. It reminded me of several stories I have read set in rural past times where there was always a 14 year old boy who was still in Grade 6 because he couldn't graduate because of his academic inability. IS this a 21st century parallel?
