Opis

When the school year ends, many students are socially promoted to the next grades in elementary schools. There is nothing wrong with social promotion if students' educational needs in language arts and basic mathematics are met in the receiving grades. However, under the present promotional plans, receiving teachers get classes with students on many different levels in these subjects. Student needs are not adequately met, and teachers are frustrated with having to face an impossible task. The AUG (Approved Unto God) Plan allows elementary school teachers and students to reach success. The AUG Plan for educating elementary students is an organizational plan to structure the learning environments. The plan calls for two major changes in the structure of the elementary schools. The first structural change is to teach science, social studies, health, physical education, music and art in homerooms. The second major structural change is to teach language arts and basic mathematics in classrooms. These are the most foundational subjects taught in the elementary school. Without them students cannot be successful in all future classes. The administration, teachers, staff, students and textbooks of the school remain unchanged. The subjects taught do not change. However, these important changes will result in elementary school students going to middle school on grade level."
