[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Close the achievement gap by making the curriculum linear rather than age-based.  Each child must meet certain milestones and then is moved to the next level.  Obviously, the first level will involve skills that are typically learned before school.  We don't freak out if more kids of color or immigrants are in those more basic classes.  It is not enlightened or compassionate to move kids up through the grades without basic skills.  Test and move kids up frequently.  Obviously we will need some divisions by age groupings but EVERYONE starts with the basic level and then moves through the curriculum.  If a kid moves here with no skills at 14, they enter a vocational program, not the college track.  Extensively use parent or community volunteers to provide one on one teaching to kids in the lower level.  All hands on deck to help as many kids as possible.[/quote]

I would be down for this.[/quote]

I also  think it's a reasonable idea.[/quote]
