Base promotion on READINESS, not age

Unlike most of American institutions, schools are legally allowed to discriminate on the basis of age. If promotion were based on readiness, rather than age, getting help to the students who need help and challenge to the students who need challenge would become a matter of routine rather than a stigma.
