Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Variation in Achievement and Ability Within the Grades, Vol. 8: George Peabody College for Teachers Contribution to Education
Perhaps the' most frequent criticism of the ordinary grammar school is that it subjects all pupils to the same conditions. Only in a few schools is provision made for superior ability. Pupils of different abilities are subjected to the same conditions. They take the same course of study for the same period of time and are promoted to gether. Even the time of promotion is fixed beforehand without any regard to the differences in ability represented in the grade.
