"But what is worse they believe that there is some sort of respect- ability attached to failure, and, so, try to convert good stu- dents to this new-found pres- tige symbol." Werren points out the is' a disturbing situation. sin "the next 20 years will prole, ably make greater demands' oil Canadian brainpower than any other period in our history." Warren finds that parents, teachers, some educational psy- chologists and students them- selves have all fostered failure. Among some Canadians' "get- ting something for nothing has become a virtue"—end this is reflected in their children's attitudes. Many parents and teachers, while not condoning failure, do not stress the importance of success 'and "I suspect that many parents are little inter- ested in their children's high school careers." Too many teachers fail to arouse the laggard's interest Warren continues. Some educa- tional psychologists and educa- tors contributed to the problem when "they let students believe that they did not have the be self-determining individuals, re- sponsible for their own future and for setting and maintain- ing standards." As a solution to. the failure problem, Warren suggests the controversial "laggard" policy initiated by Calgary in 1952 and subsequently adopted by several other Canadian high schools. Calgary high schools dismiss—on February 15, for the balance of the school year —students who are still failing OSIMEIT Bicalatztimrinti TILL HE POUND THE RIGHT PLACE, THE RIGHT PLACE TO ALWAYS SE SAT, SPIED IS leeekee. freril 39 natkine last year.

Laggards %are identified by a scale which shows what marks a student with a given I.Q. should achieve. Dismissed students may appeal to the school board. Since the policy has been in force the number of Calgary students getting less than 50 percent on examinations has dropped' from '30 percent of the student body to 20 percent. Warren adds 'that because the policy maintains a steady pres- sure on students, the number of potential laggards has also been reduced. ..;'`Calgery teachers are work- ing—harder and` devoting more time to their profession'," he continues. Some parents are showing more interest. Warren believes the policy is beginning to create a new social form where success is respectable. He cautions, how- ever, that while schools can do much, "for really lasting cure, we need the co-operation of society at large." "It can be done and I am cer- tain that in time we can pay the laggard policy the supreme compliment—by making it no longer necessary in our schools," he concludes..
