Well, it may happen in the US, but other countries aren't immune either. And I have ALWAYS wanted, at least since I was 6yo, to have floors in grades with studies based on ABILITY! ESPECIALLY now! Some ******IDIOTS****** believe something happens when people are older to make some things possible to learn.
The TRUTH is that most people have MORE ability when they are younger, can enjoy more, and become more fluent. Some even think that future ability is increased by earlier learning.
So maybe they should simply encourage kids to learn to a certain level and give them the resources and permit them to continue forward.

Actually - ther is something rotten in the state of Australia too!
we here are sheep to the MAX - this country is alomost defacto communist.
-eduaction....
here their is actually a written policy that specifys that 'bright' kids should not be taught anymore, because that would hurt the feellings to the other kids.
-here after 20years of Whitlams policies,,, the current governemtn is finally overhauling the education system... parents will finally know what marks thier kids get.... up till now it was just a writen remark .eg. Little Johny is good/poor/verygood at spelling. ,,finally teachers will actually have to work in the education system... back with the A-E+F! ,,, and it will be stanardised around the country,,,, up till now kids in Queensland were actually upto 2 -4 years behind states like Victoira in educational content.
