My nephew was in first grade.

Fam was reading Harry Potter, it was hot then - 2012

so he taught himself to read, about 4th grade level

teacher would not allow him to read at that level in school, mom had to change schools in MAY it was so bad

 

It all comes from the push to "equalize" everything in classes, hold back all students to LCD in all subjects. The rationalization is that the only reason some students are better is because the teacher is failing the less able students. Literally reject the idea that people have different innate abilities.

 

SEE this 1970s article, "On Mastery Learning: An Interview with James Block."

Block says this:

"95% of the students have fundamentally the same capacity to learn"

complete BS

They do ask students to do that, only recourse. But they do not give them the chance to excel as readers because they are not allowed to do this. The schools require EQUITY in ability, good teachers do what they can to get around this.
