Right-- I do understand the checkbox mentality.
I'm just not clear on why it can't be accomplished with pretesting out of summative assessments, rather than forcing the child through curriculum that isn't teaching him anything.
Well, okay, it is teaching him something, actually-- that school is the place that makes you do a lot of things that interefere with authentic learning. LOL.
Oh, I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that the teacher may very well be under instructions not to let anyone deviate from the set curriculum.
