[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This problem and I believe it is one - of lack of differentiation in class and it could be solved but would take radically revamping our education system.

Oh what a glorious thing it would have been for me and my siblings as well as my own kids to have been able to move at our own pace. We could have graduated early or moved on to college level work while in high school in subject matters we excelled at - wouldn't that be great if everyone could move on with the subject matter as it was mastered. Some of us learn it deeply and retain it the first time it is experienced/taught to us. [/quote]

Your Post made me flinch. I had a friend who taught in a class with a program that let students move on to the next unit when they were ready. It was hell for her. She was constantly teaching multiple units. Hectic doesn’t begin to describe it. She quit. Sounds great on paper, but it was terrible in practice.[/quote]

I had a teacher friend who cried on her last day because she had 5 different levels to teach in her grade. Kids that were two grades behind and kids were two grades ahead were in her class and she was at school adjusting her lesson plan for each group, over and over and over again. People complained that her class was disruptive because she was a bad teacher.
