[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that is fine. A little discomfort or stretching never hurt anyone, but sure. I believe that a little adversity and failure is the gateway to innovation, so I don't mind everything not being just so ~ hand curated artisanal classrooms and all. Its a lovely theory, but doesn't work well when educating masses, which is what public education is. [/quote] Except ... the rules ALLOW kids to be redshirted. And retained. It's not "curating," any more than your kid being able to pick electives or be in an advanced or lower English or Math class. A "little" adversity is fine for your kids. (And BTW, deciding on your child's schooling with the metric of "failure is the gateway to innovation" (just a LITTLE failure, but not too much!) is just as much "curating" and "artisinal" as anything else.).
