MOM BLOG: A Means to Learn Something Each Day

For Mother's Day this year, The Learning Curve asked six delegates to the annual Mom Congress to send us their educational wish lists. These "mom blogs" constitute an honest look at what's lacking in our school systems, a maternal reprimand of the current discourse, and a description of the dream school of the future. 

My wish is for every child to be allowed to go through school learning at their actual instructional level, instead of being automatically arranged by chronology and averages. Each child has different skills, different needs, different abilities in different areas, and I wish that our educational system would be responsive to these differences instead of trying to fit each child into the “average” box because of what their birth date dictates.
