[quote=Anonymous]It's more comparable to athletics. Kids can see who's most athletic, who runs the fastest, and no one sees any shame in ranking. They get put on different tiers of teams and that's just life. What's important is that you don't keep the slower runners from racing and being challenged, and you don't give the message that your worth as a person is defined by how fast you can run. Kids have always been able to see who is brighter and more academically oriented. In a well-run school, they can know these things and it doesn't affect them negatively. But people who cry over the existence of different programs, like AAP differentiation, are just trying to pound everyone into a soothing mush of mediocrity, where we pretend there are no intellectual equivalents of faster runners and never really challenge those intellects because somebody might feel bad about themselves.
