    This is my biggest concern. We did some grade level placement testing last week with my 6 year old. She is in 1st grade but tested between grade levels 2.3 and 3.5 on the various tests.

    We noticed last year when she was in public school that she was being sent to her own individual playtime while the teacher was trying to get the slower members of the class to learn the lesson. Now I am not saying that those children should not get an education, of course they should, but at the same time it takes progress away from brighter children to be forced to wait on them. I think this will be an even bigger factor in the Common Corpse “educational” program.

    What happens if a student reaches the standard too early? What do you suppose happens then?

    They are indoctinating kids into a collectivist mentality with the propoganda that is included. Do you think adding standards changes the student's progress or ability?
