 We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the
contrary, both their knowledge and experience arc enriched. We feel that there are many
disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children
develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright
child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.
This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities
of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal
qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these
aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups; this
gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership
skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to
think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The
pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.
Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and
assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class
teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we
teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do
advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their
best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
  
Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best
a hindrance, and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments
of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job
applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out.
The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a
person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better
than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and show self- confidence is
likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability.
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primary effect. This error
occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected
information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview
trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies
have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the
applicant.
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of
interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with
a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who
is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or
she really is.
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be
inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict
candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this
most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests.
