I mean, if your reading at an 11th grade level while in 5th grade, why should you be forced to stay in a 5th grade level class? It becomes boring and students stop applying themselves. I was reading things in 5th grade that most of my peers would have never read. I would destroy an 600+ page book in a week. I understand that there are foundations that need to be built, but having a one size fits all method of education I worry does more harm than good. I honestly feel that a school of this style would have allowed me to truly excel, instead…I never even got to really apply myself. I got through school fine, but it just felt like a waste of time. I almost didn’t even go to college - felt like it was going to be a waste of time. It wasn’t until I actually got into college that I realized education gives you back what you put into it…It was the first time I was ever truly challenged, and good lord that woke me up.
Ha 😂. Sorry. Yeah, typing on a phone is difficult at times. It’s just a hypothetical. A thought experiment. It’s also 4am, cut me just a little slack. Have a good night/morning!
Someone isn’t doing that in English class…

See above, re English class.
We can start with this:
Then maybe this.
Then maybe think about whether or not you are the best person to come up with ideas regarding other people’s education.
