[quote=Anonymous]In addition to saying the older kids end up doing less well, the paper says having older kids in the class causes a higher diagnosis of learning disabilities among the younger children - Authors believe this is because teachers and administrators can't help but assess children against the room of children, a room that is skewed towards older behavior. The study shows an increase from about 9 percent of total to about 20 percent of total in the number of kids who enter K at age six. This is comparing 1980 to 2002. http://www.econ.wisc.edu/workshop/ELApril4.pdf[/quote]
