Excerpt from A New Method for Determining Rate of Progress in a Small School System: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
Failure of promotion is produced by irregular attendance, late entrance, early leaving, poor teaching, too much school work, lack of capacity, indifference, physical defects, etc.
Most of the failures take place in the early grades, between 70 and 90 per cent before the sixth grade.
Out of every hundred making three-fourths time from 14 to 18 fail and from 82 to 86 are promoted.
A relatively larger number of non-promoted pupils in the high school than in the elementary school make three fourths time or more.
Leaving early is one and one-half times as potent as late entrance in producing non-promotions.
While poor teaching and lack of capacity and too much school work are very important factors in bringing about the condition of retardation, their relative effects are hard to estimate.

A New Method for Determining Rate of Progress in a Small School System
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a method for calculating the rate of progress within a school system. The author, a citizen and former employee of the town in question, gives evidence for the urgency of a new method to improve the school system and what he believes are its current mismeasurements and failings. Using statistics from two different groups of students over an eleven-year period, the author argues that the traditional age-grade standard for measuring student retention and graduation rates is flawed. The author maintains that this method results in dramatically lower retention and graduation rates than his proposed method, which he suggests is able to more accurately determine a school's efficiency and shortcomings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333465766_0
