As I previously posted, I don’t think a flipped classroom is a good idea for the majority of kids and agree that it might be an experiment at some schools, but I don’t see how it could be a deliberate attempt to level the playing field. If the teacher doesn’t prepare formal lessons and expects students to do their own research, the gifted students (not all of them of course) are the ones most likely to be able to research topics themselves. I posted previously that at my eldest’s primary school, most parents (including me) found it stupid because the kids weren’t learning as much as they could be if they were formally taught, but my daughter was still learning more than most of her classmates.
