puffin, do they specify what research proves the inclusive classroom is beneficial to all? (Or is this unsubstantiated, like college board stating that changes to SAT are based on research, while withholding the source of the alleged research?)

Meanwhile the article states that "the first opportunity to take advanced classes would be in eighth grade, with advanced math offered... we don't think that is appropriate in the early grades." It is difficult to see how this would be beneficial to all.
