At this private school, during the first week of school, everyone (who is interested) tests to figure out what GRADE they belong in for a particular subject. They sort kids according to ability.
My dream school. I believe this may be the educational model of the future. So many would benefit, including gifted kids who would not have expectations hoisted on them to always be at the top... but could enjoy working with kids of all ages at the appropriate challenge level in each subject.
We could drop the labels...
