Matt:
I think you're really on to something. Keep 'em in grade 5 until they learn 
what we want them to learn, when we want them to learn it, and how we want 
them to learn it. After all, we're the experts. I find that if a student 
refuses to master the skills I've chosen for him to learn, a few years at the 
same grade level, presented with the same materials, methods, etc., really 
straightens him out. 
The real beauty of your philosophy is that it no only applies to the child 
with a behavior disorder, but is an effective method of meeting the needs of 
children with severe learning disabilities.
