Abstract This paper presents some theoretical reflections on assessment, discussing the need for changing the meaning of assessment in schools organized in cycles. It develops the relationship between the logic of the graded school and the practice of student assessment based on meritocracy and classification. It presents a criticism of non-retention practices which, instead of promoting teaching quality through increasing time and space for students’ learning, can only postpone student exclusion
