ignoring their natural learning styles and forcing them to work at a fixed pace using improper materials just based on the students birth date which creates great emotional and academic pressures No one learns every subject at the same pace or in the same way Textbook publishing companies make billions of dollars each year by selling new and improved books and learning materials to students when those books and materials are often no better and no more appropriate than earlier editions School administrators put students through unnecessary failures by having them repeat classes they fail with the same textbook and the same teacher If it didn t work the first time why would it work a second time Most students are capable of learning pretty much anything given the proper learning environment Instead of requiring students to learn the subject students would learn better and more thoroughly if teachers were allowed to teach to their students needs and abilities The standardized demands faced by students cause far too much disappointment and pressure often causing students to quit school School teaching must be suitable to the subject being taught and the students who are in the classroom Teachers are trained and skilled at observing their students and determining the best way to teach a subject or skill to each individual student The rule that all students learn the same 8 way at the same speed with the same materials and assessment tools causes the worst kind of pressure on students in the classrooms of today despair 59 Compared with earlier editions the new and improved books A are actually betterB are worth millions of dollars C get no improvements D cause more students fail in the tests 60 Some students will choose to quit schools probably because A they feel much too stressed with the same requirements B they have to finish too much exercises C teachers cannot determine the best way to teach D there is no proper learning environment at school 61 The
