You are then suggesting they we allow students to choose the more or less challenging math class for them? I will agree with you on that, but if we do not push students forward enough and provide them challenges then they will expect that throughout life. Also, if anything, students are ridiculed more for being in less advanced classes rather then having poor grades in an advanced class.
