Researchers say holding students back a grade is harmful
By MARY MITCHELL
R<4 and Black Sufi W riter
Holding back elementary
and junior high school
students a grade can be
more harmful than helpful,
two University researchers
have concluded
"In general, in the data we
analyzed, kids perform
better in all aspects that we
looked at when they’re
promoted rather than
retained,” Kenneth Mat
thews. a College of Educa
tion associate professor,
said. These aspects include
self esteem and academic
achievement, he added
"For most students,
holding them back in the
traditional sense seems to be
more detrimental than
helpful," C. Thomas
Holmes, a College of
Education assistant
professor, said.
Instead of forcing the
student to repeat an entire
year, Holmes said he ad
vocates a summer school
program as a possible
alternative
“1 would think that there
were very few people who
went through a grade and
didn't learn anything."
Holmes said. “They just
didn't learn as fast or as
much. Hopefully, one
summer school would be
sufficient to make up the
deficiency in terms of what
would be required to succeed
al the next grade level."
However, the summer
school system should be
publicly funded. Matthews
said. “If summer school is
not publicly supported, then
you're going to place an
economic burden on those
who are least prepared to
assume it," he said
Another possibility, ac
cording to Matthews, is a
continuous progress
program in which "you lake
kids where they are
regardless of what grade you
label them as being in.”
However, this creates an
“administrative mon
strosity," Matthews said
Softball giving University yet another champion
By JOHN RIPLEY
Krd and Black ( oMrlkullnn W filer
The University is
producing yet another team
of champions
The UGA men's city
league softball team is
currently riding high atop an
undefeated season, leaving
its competition in the
commercial division behind
to eat red dust in true
Bulldog spirit.
Team owner Charles
Stitcher said the team's
current 11-0 record is due to
talent, competitiveness,
tradition and a sense of
companionship among the
teammates
Since the team's in
ception in 1966, the
University employees have
been bonded together
despite a high turnover rate
in the University em
ployment system, Stitcher
said.
The club has never missed
the playoffs, finishing
second in i960 and 1983 and
winning the city cham
pionship in 1901
The closeness among the
players is a result of their
determination to win games
and to receive support from
each other and family
members, he said.
Both Stitcher and Jeff
Seymour, a University
f oliceman by day and hard-
itting second baseman by
night, said their parents
attend all the games to
contribute to individual and
learn performance, with
the usual fan ranting
and raving
Seymour added (hat
although the team is very
competitive, and winning is
important, its record is the
result of team effort “All of
the guys are thankful just to
be able to play, compete and
enjoy themselves," he said.
But, Stitcher said, a lot of
that fun stems from beating
teams such as the
Academics, their inter-
University rivals, and seeing
how far they can go with
their talent
If they remain on their
winning track and capture
the city championship, they
could travel to state and
national competition.
Stitcher also said other
contributions to the team's
success are finesse, power
and versatility, as the
majority of the team can
play any position and
produce clutch hitting.
Team members are: Clay
Stevens, who doubles as a
pitcher and coach; George
Barrett, rightfield; Mike
Day, lefl-centerfield; Jeff
Seymour, secondbase;
Arthur Lee Jones, right-
centerfield; Edwin Watson,
lcftfield; Wink Allison,
shortstop: Raymond Beach,
first baseman; Skeet San
doval. third baseman: Mike
Mathis, catcher; and sub
stitutes Roy Winfrey and
Charles Burgess who
alternate in the outfield.

"Unless you’re very careful,
you tend to sacrifice some of
the social cohesiveness,
because he doesn't belong to
a group anymore,” he said.
The increasing emphasis
on SAT scores may con
tribute to the increased
retention rate, Holmes said
The rising use of the
Criterion Reference Tests is
another possibility, Mat
thews said.
"Society is really trying to
get a higher level of per
formance out of our kids,"
Matthews said. "There's a
general belief among many
people that If you retain
them, they're going to
perform better."
