I was wondering what people thought about self-paced learning?
Personally, I think it is a great idea. Instead of a whole group of people learning at one general level, each student can learn at their own pace. I suppose that is why students are either promoted or held back. I suggest that intead of using that method, I suggest using other methods to give the student an opportunity to never get a grade less than an A, the more they repeat, the more they are apt to get a better grade, plus their would be incentives to accomplish more, instead of the deterring effects of not accomplishing tasks in a timely manner.
I remember back in school, we would read a small section, then answer some questions. We raced to finish thes in order to finish first and go to recess. That meant getting a passing grade and believe me, we did whatever we could to get to recess early.
