I have to make a comment here. If a teacher thinks a program "moves too quickly" then why is that teacher not slowing down and supplementing where supplementing is due? In my mind, this is a ridiculous criticism of a program..... any program. Programs do not teach students. Teachers teach students. Do people not learn any more how to actually teach?
