Additional Resources and Contacts The U.S. school system was modeled after German schools created in the 1800's for the express purpose of producing obedient soldiers and factory workers (This is true! I've read it in many different good sources). The German system was extremely successful in achieving its goal in Germany and was therefore copied by other countries, including the U.S. The great American tycoons and Robber Barons were big supporters of the German system in America since they wanted literate but obedient factory workers. Our schools are operated pretty much the same way today in the 1990's as they were back when Thomas Edison was kicked out for being "addled." Creativity and independent thought and action were discouraged because such traits were problematic in a war or a factory. Today these traits interfere with our cookie cutter, mass production educational system; a bureaucratic system which is unable to change itself. "Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble I should judge to lie with the schools." - Thomas Edison.

Grouping/Scheduling School Administrators Article SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARTICLE Alternative School Calendars: Smart Idea or Senseless Experiment? If American students are to compete effectively in a global economy, do they need to spend substantially more time in school? Would increasing the length of the school year or school day raise students' achievement, or would it be more advantageous to alter how we use the time we currently have? Many school systems are experimenting with alternative instructional schedules in an attempt to find out. Included: Year-round schools, later start times, the four-day week, trimesters, and more! Are American schools serving up a quality education for all students? Although we provide students more years of formal schooling than any other nation, our school year is short, usually only 180 days. The world's average is 200 to 220 days per year, and Japan's is 243. (See "Give Kids More School,"

Read the article " Renaissance Alternative School – A Positive Impact " As far as Mary Lou Toth is concerned, Renaissance Alternative School helped save her son. "He has just done a 180-degree turnaround," Toth said. "He's a different kid. I feel that if there's nowhere else for these kids to go, they're going to drop out." L etter From A Parent “Today, our son has not only improved academically, socially, and personally, but he has drive, goals, and a purpose. We feel, as he does, that he is back on the right path. This was something that was achieved in a few months. I want to name all of the personnel at the school, but I wouldn’t want to slight anyone. All the positions are filled with people who have extra heart, extra patience, extra parent and student support.”

177. NASP Position Statement - Grade Retention And Social Promotion Researchbased statement, with citations. Given the frequent use of the ineffective practice of grade retention, NASP urges schools and parents to seek alternatives to retention that more effectively address the specific instructional needs of academic underachievers. http://www.nasponline.org/information/pospaper_graderetent.html

Position Statement on Student Grade Retention and Social Promotion The increasing emphasis on educational standards and accountability has rekindled public and professional debate regarding the use of grade retention as an intervention to remedy academic deficits.  While some politicians, professionals, and organizations have called for an end to "social promotion," many states and districts have established promotion standards.  Despite a century of research that fails to support the efficacy of grade retention, the use of grade retention has increased over the past 25 years.  It is estimated that as many as 15% of American students are held back each year, and 30% - 50% of students in the US are retained at least once before ninth grade.  Furthermore, the highest retention rates are found among poor, minority, inner-city youth. Research indicates that neither grade retention nor social promotion is an effective strategy for improving educational success.  Evidence from research and practice highlights the importance of seeking alternatives that will promote social and cognitive competence of children and enhance educational outcomes. The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) promotes the use of interventions that are evidence-based and effective and discourages the use of practices which, though popular or widely accepted, are either not beneficial or are harmful to the welfare and educational attainment of America's children and youth. Given the frequent use of the ineffective practice of grade retention, NASP urges schools and parents to seek alternatives to retention that more effectively address the specific instructional needs of academic underachievers.
