A Proposal for the Reengineering of the Educational System.
Osin, Luis; Lesgold, Alan
Review of Educational Research, v66 n4 p621-56 Win 1996
A re-engineering of the educational system is proposed that focuses on mastery and more substantial learning activities and eliminates the constraints to learning that arise from the current insistence on grouping children by age. It is argued that eliminating age-based grouping has advantages that outweigh social disadvantage. (SLD)
