Yes, it's ridiculous. They should really only grade-skip in math after giving the student take-home exercises during the current year that will serve as a replacement for the skipped grade. It's irresponsible to do otherwise, imo.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoAgreed, but I'd rank the choices in this order. #3 is still better than #4. 1) Allow the child to go at their natural pace. 2) Grade skip every 2 years, with take-home exercises. 3) Grade skip every 2 years, without take-home exercises. 4) Force the child to go at the same pace as the rest of their same-age peers.
- chrsig 2y agoI a missing component is a plan for recourse if the student doesn't take to the new pace/material. That was my biggest problem, that and I wasn't actually on-board for the skip. Educators need to learn how to admit when they fucked up and learn how to improvise a new strategy.
