Why bother? If they get it they can advance to the next lesson/unit/certification. If they don’t get out keep working individually or in a group with others of the same level, with the help of a teacher or a more advanced student. That’s how the monitorial[1] system worked. If you group by ability without regard to age the “need” to differentiate vanishes in a puff of smoke.

- upwardbound 4y agoAh interesting... that's a very good point! Then why aren't these programs rolled out all over the US and stuff in public schools? Is it just an example of government incompetence? Are there any younger public administrators seeking to fix the administration or whatever? Sorry I don't know much about this yet but it sounds very promising.
