Thank you. I would think that perhaps the most important part of entering into the education system is a kindergarten class, the most important class. This is where you determine the future of this child. Anything that happens within the class will not be noticed by the child, and whether you call it advancement, or promotion, it is going to be also observed by the young mind. How do you determine if we do not have any kind of testing methods, the level of achievement, with the special needs of a student. You can fool some people some of the time, but you cannot fool people all of the time. I am just wondering, if a child is to repeat a grade, or repeat it repeatedly, how do you determine whether or not there is something wrong with the child? Do you determine that at the beginning of the year, so that you do not have to run it through a situation where maybe a child has problems and maybe some other learning method would be suitable? How do you determine that?
