I went to a rural region of Alabama school as a kid...graduating in 1977.
If you'd asked me....particularly 1st grade to 9th grade...how many kids were auto-passing (even in serious failure situations)....out of 25 kids....it was probably 3 kids minimum....on some years, up to five kids.
From the 10th to graduation....the system corrected itself to some degree....with 30-to-40 percent of all kids sent to trade-school.
Reading an issue? From this slow-kid group....the bulk of them never advanced on reading past the 6th grade. It's not a big deal....but trying to have a class around the 10th grade or 11th grade....simply slowed down the whole group.
