Hi I was thinking about problems with the current system of schooling. Specifically that we assume that kids of the same age are all the same level but also that kids are equally skilled at different subjects.
Why we can't have a system where academic subjects are split into different tracks e.g. Math 1-X, English 1-X, Science 1-X etc. And each class, say Math 5, would have kids at roughly the same level who are perhaps of different ages. And kids could be at different levels in each track, so they could be Math 5, Science 4, English 3.
If a kid can't pass then they'd have to repeat the year for just that subject. There would also need to be some sort of acceleration mechanism for kids who are quickly mastering the material. Not sure how that'd work but perhaps at the end of the first semester if it seems clear that this level is too easy then in the second semester + summer school they'd be on an accelerated program to try and jump a level.
This setup makes a lot more sense to me and I was wondering if there's something big I'm missing for why this wouldn't work. I guess it would make scheduling a lot more complicated. But want to understand if there are some other problems with this approach that I didn't realize
