Ames, Louise Bates – American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, 1986
All children should be started in school, and subsequently promoted, on basis of their behavior age rather than on basis of their age in years. Research data support this idea, and some schools that have adopted it as policy find that they can reduce failure by 50 percent. A child's school readiness can be tested with a behavior examination.
