New York City Schools Promote More Pupils in 1911
The 13th annual report from the New York City superintendent outlines major reforms aimed at aiding backward pupils while maintaining progress for bright students. It notes 1911 promotion rates at 82.7 to 82.6 percent for 1909–1910 and 30.3 percent for 1911, with an overall 88.6 percent across all grades. It details methods like morning study rooms, pupil teachers, family study, class and sectional teaching, aligned to bolster learning without delaying capable pupils. It highlights rapid-advancement classes and targeted home work to lift weaker students, arguing many children can be redeemed by reorganizing schooling rather than narrowing effort.
