I think holding back kids to the level of their weakness and not allowing them to progress in the area of their strengths is so wrong,
So very very wrong!
And I would add, that not only should schools 'allow them to progress' that they actually have an obligation to
help them progress!
I'm not exactly sure how this could be done cost effectivly, but even if it can't be done in every single instance, I think that it is the goal to aim for - to blow the roof off of anything that is keeping any child from getting the thrill of learning anything at their readiness level.
