A growing number of urban school districts have embraced the practice of “social promotion”, whereby a student is automatically promoted to the next highest grade regardless of whether he or she has passed or failed English class. This policy is flawed, because the only criterion that a student must fulfill in order to advance is to pass a state-wide standardized test.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the validity of “social promotion”?

•    Do students have an option of taking a standardized test in a language other than English?
•    What is the rate of graduation from schools at which “social promotion” is commonly practiced?
•    How rigorous are the questions on these standardized tests that pertain to English skills?
•    How prevalent is “social promotion” among schools districts in more urban areas?
•    If a student fails a standardized test, is he o she given the chance to take it again before having to be kept back?
