A Sensible System

"Standards based learning, modeled on the belief that every student learns in their own way"

What a novel concept. You mean every child is different and has different needs and abilities? No way, it can't be!
Sounds to me like someone's finally getting things right. Adapting our horribly over-standardized education system to actually treat children as individuals, seems like common sense, right?

I can only imagine the progress teachers could make if they weren't always under the thumb of meeting testing results and pressure to keep funding...

There is much hope for the future of our education system when watching videos like these...
