Promotion or retention: Some states or districts may determine that students who fail one or more standards tests will be retained in grade for the next year. For example, recently the state of Florida announced that over 40,000 third graders would be retained based on their failure to pass the third grade test. Other states might require summer school for students who fail to meet a criterion score on one or more of the state tests. And other states and districts may not use standards tests at all for the purpose of making promotion decisions. Because research demonstrates that retention is not an effective practice, states and districts are encouraged to base promotion decisions on more comprehensive information than standards tests alone. Knowing that a test will be used to determine promotion to the next grade places a high degree of stress on students, teachers, and parents; stress by itself can negatively affect a student?s performance on these tests!

America has never had great schools (or environment) for poor people.

That's the verb I was adding to. Not all homeless people require mental health services, but if everyone have access to them we would have a much more healthy community.

I don't agree with this. Holding kids back is detrimental to their development. Expecting everyone to be on the same page at the same time is a horrible cultural norm we have adopted. Having teachers who understand flexibility and how to differentiate is much more effective.

So...you want to increase reading levels? It is more complex than just blaming teachers/school system.
What helps children read? Stable home life. Healthy pre-natal care. Post-natal care. Healthy food and clean water. Oh, and clean air. Not to mention clean housing...no lead paint. And families that earn a thriving wage. Paying people shit wages leads to shit results.
Free day care. Or better yet, communities where day care isn't necessary because a parent does not need to work.
You know, all those things that the majority of the suburbs have.

How about Universal Basic Income? Can't work? You get money to live.
Can work but wages are shit because of capitalism? You get money to live.

If you are adventurous, bang a right at the Yellow trail and take that down to Mountain road, bang a left, bang a right on to the red trail.
All other trails are treacherous for bikes. I've seen people take the orange trail down, but it is really rocky.

Interesting, yes, safe...not so much. If your bike can handle trails, the Sanford feeder over to Brook, I think to Downs Road, that goes by the reservoirs in Woodbridge. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/connecticut/sanford-feeder-trai-regicides-blue-blaze-trail-and-red-blazes-trailo
And if your bike can do trails...down West Shepard, take a right on Hill street, take another right back into the park and follow the red trail left (NOT RIGHT UP). It's muddy a bit. Then you get to Mountain road. Take a right then quick left back on trail. Mountain bikers are all over that trail. The red trail to Wintergreen ave, below the dam, back to the park.

I would argue that this is really difficult on a state road with so many crossings and stop lights. Many bicyclists (and drivers) don't abide by the rules of the road (especially stop lights). I'm not a bicyclist so I don't know the logistics of bike lanes.
Then we have the bus. There needs to be a dedicated bus lane? https://thecityfix.com/blog/4-ways-to-design-safe-streets-for-cyclists/

There are outliers. I'm an outlier. Welfare/Drug using mother. I made it out by luck.
My brother was held back a year in kindergarten. He didn't graduate high school.
We had various educational experiences. Public education. Private/Religious education. Public education. We both went to the same schools.
