Essay topics: Historically, schools in the US have borrowed the European system of school organization, a system that separates students into grades by chronological age. In general, children begin formal schooling at the age of six in what is referred to as the first grade. For the most part, students progress through twelve grades; however, some students who do not meet minimum requirements for a particular grade may be asked to repeat the year.
Graded schools are divided into primary grades, intermediate grades, and secondary grades. Primary education includes grades 1 through 5 or 6, and may also provide kindergarten as a preparation for first grade. Referred to as elementary school, these grades are usually taught by one teacher in a self-contained classroom. Intermediate grades begin with grade 6 or 7 and offer three years of instruction. At this level, teams of teachers may collaborate to provide subject-based classes similar to those offered in high school. Viewed as a preparation for high school, intermediate education is known as junior high school. At grade 9 or 10, secondary school begins. Classes taught by subject specialists usually last about fifty minutes to allow a student ten minutes to move to the next class before it begins at the top of the hour. At the end of twelve successful grades of instruction, students are eligible for a secondary school diploma, more commonly called a high school diploma.
The article states characteristics of a graded system in schools and provide several reasons of support. However, the professor explains that graded system which is practiced in schools does not efficiently focus on students at an individual level and he refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that children begin formal schooling at the age of six in what is referred to as the first grade. The professor refutes this point by saying that each student has his own maturity level. He states that each student is disparate. Some students might attain considerable maturity at the age of four or five and some are not even ready at the age of six lacking mental, social and physical maturity.
Second, the article posits that students in the graded system are promoted through twelve grades; however, if students do not meet the minimum requirements for a specific grade may be asked to repeat the year. The professor opposes the aforementioned point by saying that this system of promotion need to be viewed again. He says that repeating might ignite negative effects in some students. Moreover, professor points that repeating the year excessively bores the students as they have to study the same content. He also explains that some students need extra time to understand and to learn the subjects; on the other hand, some students learns quickly and have to wait for the teachers to provide them with new material.
In order to conclude, I would say that professor provides rational explanations to refute the author's points over the graded system.
