[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do show us the research showing that the high achieving students aren't impacted in a measurable way. Easy to say, hard to prove. So will Wilson honors classes now be considered a joke to college admissions? [/quote] +1. iirc, the research that looks at mixing in struggling students with high-performing students -- and helping the former without harming the later -- assumes that the classes remain predominantly high-performing. It depends on the numbers and the mix.[/quote] This is true for the low performing kids. Mixing one or two high performing kids into a class of low performing kids does not raise the scores of the low performing kids, nor does it impact the high performing kids. You need a larger number of high performing kids to impact overall performance levels, but either way the high performing kids are not harmed. [/quote]
