Whole-Class Teaching, School-Readiness and Pupils' Mathematical Attainments.
Prais, S. J.
Oxford Review of Education, v23 n3 p275-90 Sep 1997
Considers the problems of teaching children at widely differing stages of development in the same class. Compares European practices of holding back slow developers with the English practice of strict age placement. Suggests that European methods reduce the need for individual instruction and increase the learning of the class as a whole. (DSK)
