Summer-born affected BY school streaming By Damien Hew

Summary: It is generally known that summer-born children are more apt to do academically worse than september-born children but recent studies shows that streaming plays a part too. Streaming is common across a level and if younger children are placed with lower ability groupings while older children in higher groupings, it can cause the younger children to be de-motivated and less confident. There are arguments that streaming should be modified so that children will be more interested if lessons are pitched at the right level. Otherwise, they might feel fatigued and inattentive if they are not grouped at their right ability.

Opinion: I would agree that streaming in England should be changed as the current streaming is very prejudiced against the summer-born children. It is only right if children of the same age are put together of the same ability rather than having the summer-born to be placed together with the lower-ability groupings.
