Even if the presentation speed of curriculum is unchanged, the other students lose the benefit of contributions to discussion by the top-level students if they are not there any more.
True...
but that always brings me back around to--
are those students there to SERVE other students' learning needs? Or are they there to get their OWN needs met?I mean, I don't
mind if both things can be accomplished. But I object pretty strenuously to my child's cognitive ability being used as an
educational TOOL for the other children.
Hmph. If that makes me elitist, so be it.
