mixing students of different academic levels boosts achievement,
This is a mixed bag, getting a lower performing student and putting him/her inside a school with high standards will increase the standards of that student.
Having to many lower performing students will decrease the level of the entire class.
In a way it is an experiment for the consequences of immigration.
students have been found to perform better when teachers don’t grade their work
This may be marginally true if you test on students that have already been educated using graded tests they may have slightly better results do to reduced pressure. Once you introduce new information a lot of students will not study for the test and in a longer period of time they will 100% not study for anything while blaming the teachers for their lack of basic skills.
It is also worth to mention that teaching students to manage their anxiety under pressure and focusing on the task in front of them too get optimal results is often a more important skill too learn then what they are learning in class. I respect those that manage to cheat during tests for this reason.
They will be better then they would be in a low performance school. They would still underperformed relative to their new environment and if pressure is high they can crash but from experience it does lift them up to some extent.
I was in a math program and I was noticing what happened and even guys that were clearly not made for that class would have preformed a lot worse if put in a regular class.
This. IQ is a cap on your ability, and most schools don't push students anywhere near the cap. Let's say, for example, you take 2 people with, say, 85-90 IQ and put them in two different classes, one class which actually demands stuff of one student and the other is equity-math BS or something. The one from the class that demands stuff is going to be at a much better state at the end of the year than the equity-math guy. True, neither will be going on the calculus but the difference will be quite noticeable.
funny how everything was doing JUST FINE until all these experts showed up and taught us the real way to do things.

Bullshit. The majority of lower performing students are low IQ, and environment doesn’t fix low IQ.

Hey man I agree with you, but you gotta use the right to
Going to try
Do we really need an experiment to reason out the consequences?
Allowing women to learn how to read was a mistake.
How else would they read instructions for a soup cube?
I knew the problem from the title. She. Women aren't suited for scientific work.
