putting ideas in words

[Timothée Giet]

Hi again,

actually I'm not sure anymore I understood correctly what you were saying.

Now I feel you were exactly saying what I meant too:

"We always let the children freely select the level, and that's a good
thing".

If that's what you meant too, disregard my previous answer :)

Timo.
