Flags we ask students to ignore
A flag that drifts against the pole on expanding range is not a rest. It is a fight. We mark those as “no continuation assumed” and we move to the next page.
A flag that sits directly into a weekly level from the other direction is also left alone until that level is dealt with. Continuation is a claim about unused space. If the space is occupied by a known barrier, the claim is weak.
Students sometimes feel they have “missed” a move if they refuse a messy flag. The school’s answer is that missing a messy flag is the work. The Weekly Chart Walk will still be there on Thursday.
Print the messy examples. Pretty flags teach less than the ugly ones.
