A Colorado school district does away with grade levels

Story: A Colorado school district does away with grade levels

Interesting concept. The students will no longer be placed in a k-12 grade level. Instead they will create their own lessons, and once they are comfortable with the material, they advance. I suppose the only downside is that when a child moves to a new town, the parent will have no clue what grade to place him/her in. That, and the fact we all know there will be 12-year olds still stuck grinding their wheels at a 3rd grade competency.
