More math for those who are not doing as well in it – what a concept. It’s so counterintuitive to the way we are programmed with respect to testing prior to a class. As a teacher, I would think that to be the ideal situation because you do have the opportunity to see your students improve and possibly excel at the subject. I am interested, though, in what the students’ views would be regarding the tests and the additional coursework. Because so many of us are trained to think of more schoolwork as a type of punishment rather than a reward, would more work be a demotivator in the classroom? Perhaps it depends on the method in which the content and ideas are delivered. A teacher who believes there is purpose to the added work may get very positive feedback and results.
