Libertarian Teacher Podcast #11 - Students Should be Grouped by Intelligence and Ability

No one in their right mind would criticize a coach for creating a homogeneous team entirely made up of top-notch athletes rather than a heterogeneous football team comprised of a mixture of poor, medium and great players.

Yet educators are vilified when they even suggest something similar.

One of the main problems with heterogeneous groups is that students of intelligence and ability are assigned second class status. Their education rights are sacrificed to satisfy the education needs of the many.

If we can all agree that winning is the ultimate goal in football, we should be able to comprehend that academic excellence is the ultimate goal in education. For students of higher intelligence and ability, heterogeneous grouping stands as impediments to attaining that goal.
