[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the schools should start grading on a curve base off of age. Thus not a one sized fits all approach and accounting for the gift of time given to kids.[/quote] You realize that there is always a legitimate 12 month age span in every grade. Are you saying that you believe children with Oct., Nov., and Dec. birthdays should be graded differently than children with Apr., May, and June birthdays? That seems like an odd position, particularly because it assumes that the older children somehow would have had more time with the academic material simply b/c of their age. An "older" but not redshirted 1st grader is still learning basic math at the same pace as others in the class, why would they be graded as if they have had an additional 6-8 months of math instruction when that is not the case?
