Should we make summer school mandatory for kids in danger of not getting credits?

I don't know about Texas, but California absolutely still has social promotion. It is nearly impossible to hold back a student. Millions of students are "Not meeting standards" or "approaching standards" in one or even all of their subjects, but they are passed on to the next grade level to inevitably not meet the standards again. Until you can meet all of the standards of grade 1, you probably cannot meet the standards of grade 2, and even if you could, you still haven't learned what you need to meet the standards of grade 1, which are presumably something we think is important enough that we teach it to people in grade 1. You should not pass to the next grade level unless you are meeting standards across the board at the end of the year. If being given targeted help makes you meet those standards, great.

You can only go to next grade if you have the credits to do so and if you cannot pass the star test you cannot graduate so social promotion once you get to high school does not really mean anything, you still have to retake those classes.

I have a 2~ year old and, though we spent the entire Summer outside at parks and whatnot, every time we'd come across another kid their parents would hurriedly shuttle them off and away from us instead of letting the kids play together.

Yeah this happened to us a lot too. We are at a park every day when the weather cooperates, but not every family there lets their kid socialize.

It's rough. Weird times for everyone.
