District officials say advanced courses lead to "tracking," or grouping of students by academic ability, which can lead to high expectations and extra opportunities for gifted students. Conversely, they believe tracking can doom non-gifted pupils to low expectations and exclusion. So instead of teaching high-performing kids in accelerated courses, the board has adopted the one-class size fits all, equality-based theories behind differentiation.

Let's not just apply this theory to academics. Let's apply it to athletics as well. Is it really fair to take the best football players in the school, designate them the football team, bus them around to play in games and so forth? That sounds awfully elitist and discriminatory. Let's have a football team where all students play or let's have none at all.

Let's ban football, or at least, eliminate the scoring.
