Abstract

The problem of a large amount of retardation in many of our schools is an ever present one. New methods are constantly being sought to diminish retardation. Among these are the policies of no-failures, ungraded and remedial classes, and the decline of the traditional one-year grades. A school must first determine the amount of retardation present, and secondly, the reasons for such retardation. If the retardation proves excessive, the school must examine its policy on promotion, its curriculum, the ability of its students, the caliber of its teachers, and any other factor which contributes to retardation. A progressive school should normally expect to reduce its rate of retardation to a minimum.

Most of the studies of retardtion have been at the elementary level . Further study at the high school level is needed.
