This is a great paper on learning growth curves, with astonishing results. Children learn at a very similar rate; what differs is the starting position. This finding supports my view that students can do a lot more than we (in the Netherlands at least) expect from a large group. Timing, and time, is everything, and forcing an early decision on kids like early-tracking systems do harms a serious fraction of students.
