Thing is, elementary school is exactly where it's most imperative that students are not put into pre-determined tracks where it is already decided for them that they are and are not capable of some things, or at least that they are less capable than others. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm not saying I think it's the best thing to put all students together, at least in districts similar to where JumpinJesus teaches where there is a much wider range among students at any given age, but the unfortunate reality is when students are segregated into tracks, the focus is rarely on pushing the students in the lower tracks to eventually be on par with the students in the upper tracks.
