Well, my suggestion would be if you gave the students all the material at the beginning of the year, and each class was just time for them to work through that material (thinking things like video delivery and mini-quizzes after, with small projects and assignments throughout), then the teacher could focus more on just supporting the students who need it most. Get more one-one time. And the students who are doing really well, they could be encouraged to help other kids who are struggling.
I just think making classes more dynamic and engaging has a better chance of more kids coming out of it with a better educational outcome.
Continual assessment solves the problem of everything coming down to a couple of weeks at the end. How the hell is that better than having lots of small assessments and projects throughout the year?
Again, I'm speaking as someone who didn't struggle in school or anything. I just think it's failing too many right now.
