...Archbishop Karl J. Alter pioneered large-scale grade elimination five years ago, when he cut out nearly all first-grade classes from archdiocesan schools. For smaller cities, where public schools have space and the laws allow it, "shared-time" programs may work. In at least 300 communities parochial-school children are allowed to attend public schools for classes in such secular subjects as language, mathematics and the physical sciences.

Cognition Growth. Bruner's work with babies grew out of earlier studies with children between the ages of three and twelve.

This is known as Peter's Parry, and he admits that if most people employed it they would be nagged to distraction by their wives. A more practical technique is Creative Incompetence, or "creating the impression that you have already reached your level of incompetence...
