Comments about ‘Duchesne math program groups kids by skill, not grade level’

The difference in public and private education, private educations teaches the subject and public doesn't. This is why there should be audits, questions, and investigations in to public education funds and why they can't teach children the subject matter rather than federal tests?

This is a good concept for all other eduction in sciences and higher levels of learning. Teaching math by skill level should be the norm but public education will not accept the idea as it affects federal funding not to push a child through the meat grinder of ignorance. Public education is average and impersonal to gage spending and funding.

It takes the right teacher and student at the right time to push the button to learn math and it varies by student, not age or intelligence. Brains and learning is not a preordained by age, its a process of child development and growth. This kind of thinking offers hope for some well deserving students who need it.

In all school subject matters of science, music, and sports, math and the ability to perform it is crucial to learning it.

Sounds good, it will be interesting to see how it goes long term, if there is a long term. All too often it seems schools go with whatever is the current hot new thing. Comparisons are never made to see what has worked well and keep or go back to it. It's always onto the next great program.
