PBA: While I haven’t yet met my future kids, I don’t think they will be serving yours French fries. But if it makes you feel cool to say so, then whatever.
Anyway, if they did do a study like that then sure. I’d love to see it. But for the purposes of this discussion, we don’t yet know that for sure.
And seriously, NONE of your arguments fight for separating kids by age in the SAME grade- if they’re all capable of doing it at age six, then it shouldn’t make a difference about the class configuration. Your argument seems to be to double the number of grades and make smaller grade increments- a COMPLETELY different idea (and one which, upon further reflection, actually could make sense). If that’s not what you meant, it’s really what your arguments look like. Putting kids into a different class where they don’t have the pressure but learn the SAME EXACT THINGS doesn’t make sense, because if they’re all capable of learning the same things at the same pace then the point is moot. If not, then as I said in my FIRST post you’re only furthering the educational gap.
And by the way, I also read in a book that tracking leads to serious issues among students. (Actually, I could probably find you the title if I look around- I did this topic for a school debate assignment- but still, your anonymous sources are worth just as much as mine are.)
