[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will increasing the age range narrow the ability level range? It will result in the opposite. High ability older children will be mixed with low ability younger ones so the overall ability range increases and the teacher has to stretch further. Parents redshirt to give their kids an advantage so they won’t care if their kids are already above average, they will still rationalise that their kid “ needs to be redshirted” so will put them with the younger group..[/quote] You group kids by ability rather than age. That narrows the range of ability. [/quote]
