In this volume a streamed school is studied in detail and parents'
responses are recorded. Eleven plus is (and has been) under
criticism, but many children are selected by a 'seven plus' because
they are streamed into A, B or C classes. Few children escape the
label once it is pinned on them - less than six in one hundred
change their stream. The study shows that on a national sample the
date on which a child is born - irrespective of his ability -
affects his or her stream at the age of 7 and his results at eleven
plus. Finally ten streamed schools are compared, academically and
socially, with ten unstreamed schools. In the final chapters the
author makes practical proposals by which primary schools could
recognise and increase the flow of gifted children.
