First Published In 1998. This Work Had Its Origin In The Concern Of One Of The Authors About Those Children Who Entered A Certain Grammar School In A High Position On The Entrance List And Who Therefore Gave Promise Of Good Academic Progress, Yet Were Found At The End Of The First Academic Year To Have A Very Low Standard Of Attainment. As Well As Looking At The Grammar Entrance Exam, It Also Explores What Make Or Mar Educational Promises At That Critical Stage Of A Young Person's Life-the Transitional Stage From Primary To Secondary Education.
