New York Daily News - Kids face third try in 3rd grade

"A whopping 20% of third-graders who already had been held back flunked crucial exams this year, which may mean they have to sit through the grade a third time, the Daily News has learned.

Of the 5,000 third-graders repeating the grade this year, nearly 1,000 failed city English and math exams this April, according to Education Department statistics obtained by The News."
