I agree with you pfffffffffttttttttt

Personally I don't like it very much, but don't see how anything can be done about it unless a class has more than one teacher always there. The kids who understand can move on, and the kids who don't can be taught by the other teacher and review.

At the end of the year the kids who understood faster will just have more time to review for their exams. Though around exam time I guess the kids "left behind" will have to study harder than the others.

I don't really know much about the act, but I do know that I take all the tests at school, and I agree that I really like them and really don't like them at the same time. I like them because they are easy, I seem to dislike them for the same reason, because teachers teach what will be on the test, over and over and over, so we never learn anything new and interesting to get ahead. just think, if certain classes spent more time teaching new things than reviewing the same things for years, then by the time we graduated high school, we would be so ahead that we would pretty much all be geniuses. I know I didn't really say anything about the act, sorry, but that is how I feel about those tests,and the teaching methods of our schools. (This will probably differ greatly by state, since all of the testing laws are different)
