What a country! A great idea from Kansas...

(Grouping students by achievement, not age).

Just as we were fretting about the failure label we slap on students, a district in Kansas has come up with a better way--group students by their achievement, not age. Thus, students can continue to work on what they need--whether they are behind or ahead of their age peers. Let's hope this works well. First reports look positive.

What a country! We always create anew. Happy 4th of July indeed!
