[quote=Anonymous]To 11:56,

I would like to translate conversations into a math problem.

Let us assume that in a school, the number of students, the number of "ahead" kids, the number of "behind" kids are letter-coded as N, Na, and, Nb.

In addition, for a grade n, we have N(n), Na(n), and Nb(n).

Now, the number of student attending to the grade 2 class is Na(1) + N(2) + Nb(3) - Na(2) - Nb (2).

If we further simplify our model, say, all the grades are similar in total number of students, "ahead" students, and "behind" students, e.g., for all n,
N(n) = N
Na(n) = Na
Nb(n) = Nb

With the simplified model, the number of student attending to the grade 2 class is Na(1) + N(2) + Nb(3) - Na(2) - Nb (2) = Na + N + Nb - Na - Nb = N.

This is saying allowing kids to go to "ahead" or "behind" grade classes will not increase the work load of teachers and other resources if load/resource depends on number of students.

Moreover, kids will get better education. 
- "ahead" kids will not be bored.
- "behind" kids will not be intimidated.

In the system, there is no additional resource giving to "ahead" kids.   Are you happy now?
