It’s kind of wild how fast many kids will progress through grade levels once their instruction is adapted to their own personal knowledge profile and pace of learning.

Like one of those physics phenomena that makes sense in theory but is still incredible to witness firsthand.

I remember back when I was teaching in our original school program my incoming 6th graders would place into Prealgebra, fly through it, continue flying through IM1, before you know it they’re in IM2, then IM3, and by the time you come to terms with the fact that they’re a 7th grader with all of HS math under their belt, they’re already cruising through calculus.

And then that opens up all sorts of opportunities that few people even understand are possible.
