It is not.a new metliod of tea- ‘ching but rather an #dministra- ‘tive arrangement which makes it possible to provide better for | the differences in learning rate | in the skill subject areas. | Under this system the first three grades will be divided into’ 12 units of work and each unit quired skills. This will mean that the slow child will move much slower than the average. A general discussion, taking the form of questions and an- swers, both from the. panel members and the audience, dis- cussed such things as_ report cards, promotion, teacher invol- vement and the advantages of the system. “It was felt that the big prob- lem to be faced by parents and teachers with regard to the non- graded system was that ‘of grade-mindedness flexibil- ity.

Jamie's demands for an equal share of this attention are often seemingly rebuffed by the par- ents. Because of the undiplo- matic and sometimes rude way in which this is done, Jamie begins to feel neglected’ and un- wanted; as a result becoming quite introverted. In the discussion which follow- ed the film, the topic most touched upon concerned ways in which Jamie's parents could have prevented the unfortunate result of their thoughlessness. While many felt that Jamie was certainly loved as much by his parents as were his sister and brothers, they believed that the should have shared this love equally with all three of their children. .
