"TN Governor defends controversial third-grade retention law after TCAP scores released"

Thousands of students in Tennessee are having to attend summer school or tutoring next year due to low TCAP scores, leading to frustration among parents who criticize the state's third-grade retention law. Governor Bill Lee and other top Republicans defend the law, stating that children must be able to read before moving forward. However, parents argue that the law is causing anxiety and emotional distress for their children and that lawmakers are making decisions without consulting teachers and administrators.
