We know a teacher who teaches in another district and she really dislikes common core and how schools are generally taught now. A lot of school now it sounds like is to teach towards the middle since you can’t go advanced for the super ahead kids or go slow for the dumb kids…Also, all that prepping for the testing.
The idea of the new school I think is fast kids can actually take classes with higher students so they will always feel challenged and be ahead while people who need more time can be pulled aside to catch up, etc…
I hear this is done for some schools already in the bay area…
It probably depends on the kid, but no idea if this is a good thing and it’s so new, it may blow up in their face until they work out all the issues like you say.
