In my case, this model works well with me as a coach, it works well with the growth of my team, and it works well with aligning with the progress of curriculum in my school district. It fits. Yeah! But that may not be true for all people, everywhere.

Time will tell if this concept works for everyone. We won't know unless someone tries. If it doesn't, then we will know.
What is more important is whether anyone needs to try.

It's obvious from my other two posts that I don't think I have read any reason yet why forcing any new progressions on anyone is needed.

Reading what you wrote about one size not fitting all, I would agree emphatically with that, and say that it leads to an obvious conclusion: To the greatest practical extent, no should try to force all into one size.

If using one size ain't necessary, and if it causes poor "fits", don't do it.

Wouldn't you agree?
