He says tracking is good for the lower-level students and doesn’t harm the higher-level students, which is always the pitch and defies common sense.  It has to matter what the ratio of advanced to lower-level students there are.  Otherwise, it wouldn’t matter what school you went to and colleges needn’t bother being selective.[/quote]

You're overlooking the main point, which is:  mainstream classes for bright kids "won't do them any harm."  Neither will drinking water, or chewing gum.  In other words, just relax and let the time pass, it will be over soon and you won't regret a thing.[/quote]

Actually, the direct quote is "“When high-quality, enriched curriculum is provided to all students, the effect is to benefit both high-achieving and low-achieving students.”

Nope.  That is what he says in to the author of that right up, but in the actual report he says, “Won’t do harm.”

Seems like he wants to put a spin on it that he won’t put in the formal report.[/quote]
