问题     A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well as have a higher chance of dropping out(退学). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. " When children work on project, " says Lillian Kates, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, " they learn to work together, to disagree, to think, to take turns and lighten tensions. These skills can’t be learned through lectures. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills. Relationships should be the first R. "
    At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by he outside world. Just as the 1-year-old struggles to walk, the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectation. " Young kids don’t know how to distinguish between effort and ability, " says Tynette Hills, professor of early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey, "if they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. " "The effects of obvious methods of comparison such as posting grades can be serious, " says Hills, " a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation. "
