My daughter is 13 and has completed algebra one and is now taking geometry. She will have as much as a year of high school credits completed before she gets there. Covid was actually a tremendous academic breakthrough for her, as it gave her the chance to finally work at an independent pace. Before the teachers thought her disruptive, afterwards they realized it was because she needed more independence and challenge (which I'd been telling them since Kindergarten, but...).
I bring this up because that's what I want for every student. Why shouldn't each student receive a kind of individual plan where they can have lessons and classes tailored to their needs? That's the outcome our kids deserve, rather than some reduction to the mean where no one's needs are met.

A nice idea that runs aground in reality, due to typical teenager personality characteristics and the teacher to student ratio that is required to educate a whole generation.
- poulsbohemian 3y agoI certainly understand the reality on the ground, but I also think in many districts, especially with the number of electronic lessons (read: limited actual teacher planning or participation) that we are getting closer to this as a possibility.
