When a student uses "programmed instruction" -- for example EPGY -- he/she advances based on what he/she has learned. That may be a better model than using the subjective judgments of teachers to determine academic placement. It won't happen any time soon, unfortunately, so in the mean time afterschool your daughter so that she progresses according to her abilities.
