	NASP Position Statement - Grade Retention and Social Promotion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Retention does not appear to have a positive impact on self-esteem or overall school adjustment; however, retention is associated with significant increases in behavior problems as measured by behavior rating scales completed by teachers and parents, with problems becoming more pronounced as the child reaches adolescence.
		Even for single retentions, the most consistent finding from decades of research is the high correlation between retention and dropping out. A recent systematic review of research exploring dropping out of high school indicates that grade retention is one of the most powerful predictors of high school dropout.
		Retention is more likely to have benign or positive impact when students are not simply held back, but receive specific remediation to address skill or behavioral deficits and promote achievement and social skills.

	Retention and Social Promotion: Research and Implications for Policy. ERIC Digest
		Opponents have argued that retention discourages students whose motivation and confidence are already shaky, and that promoted students gain an opportunity to advance through the next years curriculum, while retained students go over the same ground and thus fall farther behind their advancing peers.
		Retention is expensive: at a minimum, it entails the cost of an additional year of schooling for each student retained.
		On the whole, retention is not a cost-effective response to poor performance when viewed in the light of cheaper or more effective interventions, research findings demonstrating no advantage to, or even harm from, retention, and the tendency for gains from retention to wash out.

	Strategies for Retaining Adult Students: The Educationally Disadvantaged. ERIC Digest
		Retention of adult students is a persistent and perplexing problem for providers of adult education.
		Some argue that retention and attrition are neither good nor bad, but that the achievement of the students' goals should be the measure of program success (Holm 1988).
		The literature on retention of adult learners strongly suggests that previous educational attainment is closely tied to participation and persistence.

	Past Issues - January/February 1999
		The researchers looked at 6- to 8-year-old students in the 1980s and early 1990s and found that by the time the students were ages 9-11, 25 to 30 percent were no longer in the appropriate grade for their age group.
		Nevertheless, Grant argues that retention is not appropriate for all struggling students.
		Retention harmed students' achievement, attendance record, personal adjustment in school, and attitude toward school.

		Before taking action to increase the retention efficiency of fine particles during the formation of paper, it is worth taking some time to consider the relative importance of this issue.
		Moderate use of retention aids tends to keep the paper machine system cleaner by lowering the amounts of fines and pitch-like particles or emulsion droplets that are floating freely in the process water.
		The most likely short-term answer is "increase the addition level of retention aid." A secondary answer may be to work with a retention aid supplier to identify a more effective additive or combination of additives, dependent on your furnish conditions and process equipment.

	Gale Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence: Retention in School
		One reason often cited for the increase in drop-out rate is that repeating a grade does not automatically improve the student's chances of learning; he or she is usually placed into a classroom no different from the one in which they were in the year before.
		The implication underlying the retention process is that the problem lies with the student, not with the curriculum or method of instruction.
		Despite research finding that retention does not appear to help learning difficulties, there is the problem of what to do with a child who is, for whatever reason, unprepared to move on to the next grade.

	Retention and Testing
		Retention - or non-promotion - is the practice of holding a student in the same grade for a year or longer, often on the basis of scores on standardized tests.
		Lately, retention has been proposed by those who argue it is the best way to end "social promotion," or automatically passing students to the next grade with their same-age peers.
		Retention, some argue, will prevent students from being passed without having learned the material they need, and therefore, graduating without necessary skills and knowledge.

	Retention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Retention refers to the practice of holding back a student at the end of an academic year and requiring him or her to repeat a grade level.
		With regard to retaining children in the early grades, research consistently indicates that retention harms self-esteem and increases the likelihood of dropping out in later years.
		Retention worsens rather than improves the level of student achievement in years following the repeat year (Shepard and Smith, 1990; Gutierrez and Slavin, 1992).

		This is perhaps understandable given that recruitment is explicit and visible, and retention is not (both in terms of the time and money required).
		Obviously it becomes a higher priority when the job market is buoyant (as it has become in the UK in the last six months), if only because of the personnel agencies whose financial wellbeing depends on persuading staff to change jobs fairly frequently.
		But on the other hand, because Agile teams can be so "close knit", one person leaving an Agile team can create a “diaspora” effect: others in the team start to change their employer not because the present one is especially bad, but because they value continuing to work with the people they work well with.
