:17年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案

  Los Angeles isn't the only place that has run into roadblocks while trying to end social promotion. In New York City， some advocates have said in lawsuits that parents weren't notified early enough that their kids were flunking. And in Chicago， which led the nation on the issue， a parents' group has filed civil rights complaints alleging that the promotion crackdown holds back a disproportionate number of black and Latino kids.

  Still， the war on social promotion could have one salutary consequence： if every school district takes L.A.'s approach， struggling students will get a lot more teaching help， not just a kick in the rear as they finish another unproductive school year.
