RE: Questions for the day

The reasoning of Eric Kangas argument for the efficiencies of academic achievement grouping is lost to an ideology of radical egalitarianism. Supporters of this view are deathly afraid that some people will end of ahead of others, like that is somehow avoidable. The past problems of ability grouping were not due to the absence of higher achievers in classroom but from the extremely low expectations of lower achievers. Lower achievement does not mean that significant academic achievements can't be made.  It is unavoidable if students are going to receive instruction that corresponds appropriately to their academic and intellectual development that they be grouped accordingly.
