*This experiment was done on grades 1–6, and gains significantly higher than those of the control group were only seen in 1st, 2nd, and 4th graders. The 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades had gains equal to those of the control group. So because 3 groups did have higher gains and 3 didn't, the average of all is still higher gains than control. I only mentioned the 1st and 2nd graders to show the most dramatic changes, not to intentionally mislead.
