[quote=Anonymous]Because you are a slow runner now does not mean you should run or train with slow runners.  Challenge and stimulation are physiologic necessities of life for survival.  In fact, accommodation, growth and compensation in physiology would dictate the slow runner train with those a little faster for ultimate optimal development and progression.  Math is no different.  This approach just might bring the best out of one rather than condemn one to mediocrity.  We have choices.  As a teacher and coach I witness daily the importance of the "pacing rabbit"  in the classroom and on the athletic field or swimming lanes.  Strategically pairing the slow with the faster is optimal for the best improvement of the former.  I will not change tried and true methods of success in the classroom or on the athletic fields/pools for the wisdom of stay at home "mathematicians" and nonathletes.   Too much acceleration, too much alcohol, too much fried food, too much exercise too much ... is bad  is simply no defense for common sense.  Too much of anything good (let alone math) we all know can be bad for you![/quote]
