Before doing the Grade 4+ Super Survival Test, and before promoting a Smart Fish Student to Grade 5, be certain that they have passed Grade 4+ "SUPER DUPER SEAL".  Can the student Kick & Roll independently, without having a teacher close by?    When watching this video, notice how Wyatt becomes disoriented at one point, but the teacher did not immediately come to his aid,  other than talking him through it.  It is tricky to know if the student will be able to handle the situation without panic, but if the teacher is in tune with his ability and is close enough to solve the problem, but yet ... waits to see if the student can solve it for himself, the student will ultimately be better off. He will advance to "the next level".  By enabling him too soon, the teacher is essentially telling him that she doesn't have enough faith in his ability to do it himself.
