A while back I read an article about this and he basically said, as I remember it, that high schools are always behing the times and they do not teach the kids the skills they need to compete in the modern workplace. Also schools have so many students that the teachers are forced to teach to the slowest student. If you have 30 kids in the class and half of them get it and the other half don't the half that get it are forced to wait around while they go over agian and agian for the slower kids. It looks like this system tried to fix that by letting the kids that understand a lesson move on by themselves and frees the teacher up to help the slower kids without slowing down the faster ones.
Something need to be done in our public schools because they keep throwing money at the system and nothing ever seems to improve.
