--
[Age-grading] is constructed upon the assumption that a group of
minds can be marshalled and controlled in growth in exactly the
same manner. [...] the class is supposed to move through all the
grades, keeping in locked step. This locked step is set by the
'average' pupil -- an algebraic myth born of inanimate figures
and an addled pedagogy. The class system does injury to the
rapid and quick-thinking pupils, because these must shackle
their stride to keep pace with the mythical average. But the
class system does a greater injury to the large number who make
slower progress than the rate of the mythical average pupil
[...] They are foredoomed to failure before they begin.
