Historically, schools in the United states have borrowed the European system of school organization, a system that separates students into grades by chronological age. In general, children begin formal schooling at the age of six in what is referred to as the first grade. For the most part, students progress through twelve grades; however, some students who do not meet minimum requirements for a particular grade may be asked to repeat the year.

Graded schools are divided into primary grades, intermediate grades, and secondary grades. Primary education includes grades 1 through 5 or 6, and may also provide kindergarten as a preparation for first grade. Referred to as elementary school, these grades are usually taught by one teacher in a self contained classroom. Intermediate grades begin with grade 6 or 7 and offer three years of instruction. At this level, teams of teachers may collaborate to provide subject-based classes similar to those offered in high school. Viewed as a preparation for high school, intermediate education is known as junior high school. At grade 9 or 10, secondary school begins. Classes taught by subject specialists usually last about fifty minutes to allow a student ten minutes to move to the next class before it begins at the top of the hour. At the end of the twelve successful grades of instruction, students are eligible for a secondary school diploma, more commonly called a high school diploma.

The Reading and the lecture is about the Grade systems in school which is based on the chronological age of the students. The author believes that the system of school organization is well planned. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He says that the system of school organization based on separating the students on the basis of chronological age is not a good system.
First of all author says that the students are divided according to the chronological age .Gradually they are exposed to the difficulty of the subjects .The lecturer challenges the point made by the author. He claims that Different students have different abilities and readiness level of maturity so they shouldn’t be grouped together. He supports his idea by giving an example of the girls and boys .Naturally the girls and boys have different physical and readiness level of maturities.
Secondly the author claims that students have to fulfil the minimum requirement to pass the grade. The lecturer rebuts the argument. He elaborates further on the point by mentioning that the students who has to repeat the courses often gets bored with the curriculum .Moreover the standardized tests are not the fair evaluation as it gives the group’s performance not the individual’s performance.

Finally the author says that the subjects are taught in the classes are fixed .The lecturer on the other hand states that that there are certain students who learn things at slower pace while certain learns faster so it is not fair to group them together .
In conclusion author effectively casts doubt on claims and explanations made in the article about the system of school organization by giving the valid examples
