On the Success of Failure addresses whether repeating a grade is helpful or harmful when children are not keeping up. It describes the school context of retention and evaluates its consequences by tracking the experiences of a large, representative sample of Baltimore school children from first grade through high school. In addition to evaluating the consequences of retention, the book describes the cohort's dispersion along many different educational pathways from first grade through middle school, the articulation of retention with other forms of educational tracking (like reading group placements in the early primary grades and course-level assignments in middle school), and repeaters' academic and school adjustment problems before they were held back. 606 $aGrade repetition$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Primary$zUnited States 615 0$aGrade repetition 615 0$aEducation, Primary 676 $a371.2/8 700 $aAlexander$b Karl L$00 701 $aEntwisle$b Doris R$01759519 701 $aDauber$b Susan L$01759520 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827762803321 996 $aOn the success of failure$94198012 997 $aUNINA
