Is it any surprise that if kids don't have to turn in work on time, their performance drops? Yet this "innovation" is pitched as "mastery based learning" and embraced by schools across the country.
I blame schools of education, who seem to have no problem pushing one bad idea after another (as long as the new idea aligns with progressive goals).
