Every class that I teach has quite a range of abilities. At my grade level, the reading teacher has one class for students who need extra support in learning to decode words, and the math teacher has one math class that is allegedly accelerated. Are students who cannot read being passed on to high school? I think there should be a graduation test for middle school measuring basic literacy and numeracy. Err...shouldn't that happen before ENTERING middle school? Or, maybe third or fourth grade even? Students who repeatedly flunked the middle school graduation test would not be allowed to attend publicly-funded high schools and would be encouraged to find work. Such a policy is not applicable to 4th-graders.
