Or maybe even move the fast learners up a grade or two.
Of course liberals have their own solutions, send their kids to private high achiever schools.
“I am not sure you are serious, but having faster learning students twiddle their thumbs while the slow ones twaddle, doesn’t seem like a good use of human capital.”
I may not have been clear in my response.
My point was that the exceptional ones sit around waiting on the slower ones, and that is bad.
“Maybe a better approach would be to speed up the slow lane?”
That’s not possible. There exists a slow lane for a reason.
“Or maybe even move the fast learners up a grade or two.”
Even when kids are ready to learn academics at a faster pace they are usually not mature enough to handle being moved up with the older kids. Putting several grade levels together works better from the standpoint that it’s not just a couple of bright younger kids thrown in with the older ones.
