[quote=Anonymous]"Some researchers, though, argue that this type of sorting perpetuates academic inequality. The best students, whether they're chosen based on their IQ or their standardized test scores, get the richest curriculum; the others are left behind. Grouping students together based on ability for one subject, particularly in elementary school, is fairly common. But the idea is that students can move between ability groups as they progress. That's very different from picking students out and assigning them to a separate classroom based on their score on a standardized test." The above was quoted from the article and articulates well why sorting students into "AAP" and "Gen Ed" classrooms is a huge mistake. There is no fluidity for children to move around as needed.
