"No clothes! No clothes! Come on, people! NO CLOTHES!"
*sigh*
I say again, I really think that pre-testing (above/below level, as an individual child needs) to get a read on where a child is actually performing, then requiring a year's worth of progress from that spot makes the most sense. If every child makes at least a year's worth of progress for a year's worth of school, no one is wasting time. But focusing on some perceived gap as if everyone has equal abilities is just ludicrous. How can anyone accept that?
*double sigh*
P.S. And isn't giving everyone a year's worth of education for a year's worth of time equality? Yes, I think so!
