To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Practically" about 90% (our figures are not quite complete) of this group failed to pass to the next grade at the end of the term. Although 30% of the children in the first grade in September had failed, an average of 15% failed (again?) at the end of the term. The mental test reveals that we should expect about 20% to fail for one reason alone — they have not yet reached the mental age necessary to master the first grade course of study without an unusual amount of personal attention. Each ye...ar there are from 400 to 600 children in Oak- land who are struggling with first grade work who stand almost no chance of passing. Is it not an injustice to childhood to require or even to permit these children to try to do work that is impossible for them, only to fail them at the end of the term and make them do the same work over again? To introduce the little child's school career with a failure is very likely to have an undesirable effect on his attitude toward later school life. These children should do work more slowly and succeed, or they should be given other work which they can do.
