was designed with industrial intent. We were schooled to work in the factory of our choice, basically. That also meant that education was structured like a manufacturing industry where only a defined and focused progression was acceptable, all else was insufficient and had little to no consideration for human variation thus requiring us to all conform to one paradigm and that's it. At least for the working class, the wealthy and connected have always had more options for variance as individuals... a nasty little carryover from European aristocratic social hierarchy.
I like your assessment's conclusions, they are based on acknowledgement of the natural progression of learning and understanding which is more important than strict timeline progression which is self defeating, in its essence, for all but the powerful and wealthy who hoard all resources for exchange.
And congrats to your students who are faring well in their being intelligent people who are able to navigate our crazy mess of a world!
