Upon further reflection today, I could maybe see this working for kids from five to fifteen if kids at the extreme upper and lower ends of the distribution were excluded and if all kids were given high support from an early age. I don't think you could just put ninth and tenth graders with what are currently typical rates of educational neglect into non-streamed classes and have it work, but I'm prepared to concede that it might be possible if educational neglect were eliminated and really exceptional kids were excluded.
