There's something on this board that has been bothering me, and I hope I can articulate it.

Keeping close watch on a child's performance to make sure that they were achieving the expected level of competence or not makes absolute sense to me. Determining that progress based on direct comparisons to the other children in that particular class makes no sense to me at all.

In my dd's My Gym class, the instructor decides whether a kid goes to the next level. There's thie little girl who, to me, has met all the "milestones" for a 19 month old, yet
I heard one say to this 19 month old's mom: "Well, she's progressed a lot, but I don't think she's up to the level of the other kids who will be going to the next class." So this little girl will be in with the 10-18 month olds for the next 2 months again. Being compared to one's peers happens. That's reality.
Of course they can.
