My radical view on education is that everyone should work at their own pace until they have an A understanding/test scores in each topic of each class before moving on. This completely takes the focus off the grade (its always an A) and focuses it on learning well. It also means that nobody falls behind which is a source of a lot of stress. Slow learners get extra time and teacher attention before trying to move on to more advanced topics. Fast learners enjoy racing through subjects at their own top speed. It is extremely rewarding to be able to skip forward as soon as you are ready. This naturally develops self-managed education habits. I got to learn this way for one year in elementary school and it was the best experience I have ever had in education. To do this, teachers need organized lesson plans for each class that students can follow at their own pace, and act more as self-learning mentors and a learning resource, as apposed to controlling the pace with all-class lectures. The commonality between all classes is teachers are teaching kids how to learn by their own efforts, not just topics they will forget.
