This book was released on 2007 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to determine the effects of school entry age on the academic achievement of third, fourth, and fifth grade students. The subjects for this research were 340 students attending Northside Elementary School in Smithville, Tennessee. Participants were divided into groups by grade and gender: 119 third grade students, 58 female and 61 male; 114 fourth grade students, 58 female and 56 male; and 107 fifth grade students, 61 female and 46 male, participated in the study. The academic variable was of two types, teacher assigned yearly classroom averages and Terra Nova scores. Teacher assigned yearly classroom averages were observed in the areas of reading, spelling, English, math, science, and social studies. Terra Nova scores in the areas of reading/language arts, math, science, and social studies were researched. The entry age variable was calculated to the nearest month of chronological age at kindergarten entrance for each student. Pearson r correlations, at the .05 level of significance, yielded statistically significant relationships between school entry age and academic achievement of males in the areas of fifth grade teacher assigned math scores, fourth grade Terra Nova math scores, fourth grade Terra Nova science scores, and fourth grade Terra Nova social studies scores. There were no statistically significant relationships between female students' third, fourth, or fifth grade achievement and chronological age at school entry.

Download or read book Class and Schools written by Richard Rothstein and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary public policy assumes that the achievement gap between black and white students could be closed if only schools would do a better job. According to Richard Rothstein, "Closing the gaps between lower-class and middle-class children requires social and economic reform as well as school improvement. Unfortunately, the trend is to shift most of the burden to schools, as if they alone can eradicate poverty and inequality." In this book, Rothstein points the way toward social and economic reforms that would give all children a more equal chance to succeed in school. This book features: a summary of numerous studies linking school achievement to health care quality, nutrition, childrearing styles, housing stability, parental economic security, and more ; aA look at erroneous and misleading data that underlie commonplace claims that some schools "beat the demographic odds and therefore any school can close the achievement gap if only it adopted proper practices." ; and an analysis of how the over-emphasis of standardized tests in federal law obscures the true achievement gap and makes narrowing it more difficult.
