Sort the classes by learning speed, the faster kids aren't expected to do more or harder class work like today instead they get longer lunches, free periods, more recess and early dismissal. Only slow kids need homework, the fast kids get it done as part of class and peer grade themselves.
Frees up teaching resources for the slower kids and respects everyone's time. Puts the incentives in the right places, rewarding the diligent responsible students.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoAre you rewarding diligent students or successful students? It usually ends up being the latter and the slower but diligent ones end up discouraged.
- willcipriano 3y agoA diligent student with a learning disability or at the far edge of bell curve is in a sense "punished" I suppose, but they are punished with more instruction. Like in life if they can find a way to work faster they can have more time for other things.
