They wouldn't do grade accelerations anymore either. That would be an even bigger problem because then there would be the "gaps" and the kid would HAVE to take the standardized test on material they might not know. Like if we had grade acclerated DS this year, he would have gone into second grade not knowing how to measure cm with a ruler. Never mind the fact that the teacher (or us) could have solved this problem in about 3 minutes if we knew what the gaps were. But god forbid anyone have to work one-on-one with a kid rather than just have them sit through the prescribed curriculum.
