More and more, schools nowa days group pupils into fast, av erage, and slow classes. Unless the report card designates which group or. level .the “C" repre sents, the grade tills paints little. Trere’s plenty difference be tween a “C” earned in a bright class and a “C” in a slow das-. The difference is as much as that between a “B" and a “D” in a mixed (heterogeneous) Mass. Few,., schools which segregate! stqdi n ts by ability identify the] groups into which the students fall. And officials have some goo-1 reasons for ommitting the identi fications. . Nevertheless, the parent doesn’t have the . „ complete picture of Junior’s-:- perforcance unless his group level is known. It’s about the same as knowing the batting p*. rcentage of a baseball Player without .knowing whether he plays in a major or minor league. At least one high school- has developed a report card which 1 does classify ever student by j achievement levels in each - indi- j vidual subject. It is the LaSalle Senior > High School in Niagara Falls,UN. Y. At , LaSalle, each student is graded . within his group. A givs p • pupil piay get au SO in the fast, group in English and an S' in j an average group in mathematics. Parents will know he’s doiiig better work .in English than in j math.
