Gov. Cox Suggests Holding Back More Third Graders to Improve Reading Skills
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
Governor Spencer Cox proposed holding back more third graders in a move to increase literacy rates. He cited that less than half of Utah's 3rd graders can read at grade level and suggested that holding back these students will give them the time to learn before pushing them onto the next grade. Greg and Holly speak with Brigham Tomco from the Deseret News about this proposal and the stigma in school about being held back.
