[quote=Anonymous][quote[b]]I don't necessarily disagree with the pp's suggesting that kids were probably accelerated too much in the past[/b]. But, why do we think slowing everyone down is any better than speeding everyone up. Doesn't this set up the same issue of not meeting the needs of some of the kids. Isn't moving too slowly as big a risk for some (creating boredom, disinterest, etc.) as moving too fast? I don't understand why there is a need to paint with such a broad brush. Why not try to learn from past mistakes (moving too many ahead too fast) and take a more nuanced approach.[/quot Funny. In my decades of observation, the only kids and parents feeling overaccelerated by the low bar of American primary school math competence were kids who were overaccelerated in lacrosse, swimming, gymnastics and video watching.
