It's not just those grades; I see the same in high school. To a lesser extent, but a lot of the classes that are non-advanced are, here's a 5 question quiz and 15 minutes of content every week, turn it in whenever.
- culopatin 4y agoI went to a technical high school with (apparently) one of the toughest curriculums in my city (non US). You know what I found unique? That I didn’t know my curriculum was tough. I just thought that’s the way it was for everyone and went for it. Once we got older and started going out and making friends from other schools is when we realized that no one else was learning calc 1 at 15. The initial success rate of the class was like 95%, few kids had to re take finals around the summer break but no one failed. The admissions were not tough at all to this school, so we weren’t gifted. In fact I failed in college soon after. What I’m trying to say here is that if we push kids without telling them “this is so hard, you might not be able to do it”, they might just do it. If we pushed the gas a bit further in the content we teach, not only we’ll get people learning more and faster, but also they might get a better sense of accomplishment.
