So what you're saying is that teacher's shouldn't do their job of helping students learn their material? If a student doesn't get it, the teacher should say 'tough titties" and kicks them out? Sounds like you want to go to private school.

Not private school. Get me from keeping the school on a remedial pace to keeping students challenged. My idea was to have a school that will leave behind students who can't keep up rather than waiting for them. What are your ideas?

What a reprehensible person you are. Education is for everyone. So you want to design a school where kids to purposefully fail kids?

Hmm. Let's see.

Option A: Have a first grader who cannot read "fail" back to first
Option B: Have a fifth grader who cannot read "pass" into the sixth grade
Option C: Test & track by subject, and "pass" upon minimal mastery level in all subjects

I'll choose C. A & B don't really help anyone identify in need and address their issues. A buries the struggling student, and B buries the motivated student.
