This book presents a valuable study on the effects of promoting and classifying elementary school pupils based on intelligence quotient (IQ) and mental age rather than traditional grading methods. The author conducted a two-year experiment in eight Chicago schools, comparing the academic progress and achievements of pupils in experimental schools using the IQ-based method with those in control schools using traditional methods. The results challenge the assumption that the IQ-based method leads to greater student achievement, as both groups demonstrated similar progress rates and achievement levels. However, the study highlights the complexity of factors affecting student progress and emphasizes the need for educators to consider a range of variables, including teachers' experience and students' non-cognitive abilities, when making placement decisions.
