Promotion Based on Mental Age Replaces Grade Level
In Worcester schools the plan, started over four years ago by Supt F E Clerk, promotes pupils by ability rather than age. Dr Buckingham from a university inspired the chart by Eleora Sands at Antietam School, showing mental ages. Some 16 year olds show mental capacity of 9 year olds, while a 12 year old may resemble a 16 year old. The system tests mental age across subjects. higher mental age students advance faster and time is given to helping backward pupils, with recent geography testing confirming results.
