IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SPACE TO ACCOMMODATE, CUT DOWN THE SIZES - The best option!

The children up to the age of 14 years are most vulnerable. They need continuous support and guidance to make them capable of living in the society of multifarious challenges which need a set of the best chosen human resources with ample spaces, tools and equipment. The capabilities of service providers means a lot to ensure this. Thus, if you don't have capabilities to support the children's growth, make them retard.
Although this would be a historical incidence of a country that the most intellectual group of people takes away the children’s fundamental right instead of safeguarding it and nurturing them in a changed environment.
I know the country with best education system like Finland also has the system of making child’re-take the year' who performs the poorest, but the system has its procedures. However, directly favouring the detention system advocating detention can ensure quality learning in children is really a crude and PRIMITIVE idea.
"No detention" doesn't mean that the system has to pass a child without making him/her capable of next higher grade. "No detention" implies that the system is bound to make a child capable of next higher grade compulsorily at the end of an academic session. It is the system which has to work harder to make the child pass rather than to fail a child and held back for a whole academic session. The content of the post "Review of No Detention Policy" reveals that the system has more faith on DETENTION of children to ensure quality learning than on its manpower who are meant for ensuring quality education.
Till date, we have the notion that teachers only held responsible for making a child learn. Now it's time for us to change it. As you know that the actual works of whole education department is done in the school campus. Thus, let's make everyone in the system responsible for ‘making a child learn’. It is the responsibility of Educational Administration to provide relevant logistics that support a teacher to conduct effective teaching, the teacher education institutions need to provide trainings to teachers as per their training needs, the community leaders need to provide good infrastructure that supports children's learning, the parents need to establish close coordination with teachers, so on. I dream a new education system where all sets of stakeholders are made responsible in children's learning.
