This paper is about Social Promotion or School Retention. The school years of a student are what determine their academic future. This is the reason why there has been a good deal of debate on the issue of social promotion and school retention. When the students are unable to pass their final exams, for whatever reason, it always creates a problem for the administration and the teachers because they have to make the decision of promoting the student to the next grade or retaining him or her in the same one. Apart from promotion based on performance, the culture of "socially" promoting the student is also becoming prevalent. Promotion as well as retention both can have negative impacts on a failing student pertaining to his future academic performance and his behavior. Keeping in view the impacts of social promotion and retention, the researchers want to devise an alternative way for students who do not perform well in their final exams. In this paper, we shall conduct a study to find out what problems the students, teachers and parents have to face when a student fails and what makes them promote on retain them. Moreover, we shall also discuss the expected conclusions of the study and shed some light on the alternative solutions to this problem. The study will be based students, their parents and teachers of five different schools in New York. The details of the study will be provided later in this paper.
