Book Overview

Laggards In Our Schools: A Study Of Retardation And Elimination In City School Systems is a book written by Leonard Porter Ayres in 1909. The book explores the issue of academic underachievement and school failure among students in urban schools. Ayres analyzes data from several city school systems and examines the causes of student retardation and elimination from the school system.The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of the problem of student underachievement and the factors that contribute to it. The second section presents the findings of Ayres' research, which include statistical data on student performance and retention rates in various urban school systems. The third and final section of the book offers recommendations for improving the educational outcomes of students in urban schools.Ayres argues that many students in urban schools are held back by factors such as poverty, inadequate teaching, and a lack of resources. He also highlights the importance of early intervention and individualized instruction in addressing the needs of struggling students. The book concludes with a call to action for educators and policymakers to work together to improve the quality of education in urban schools and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
