I deeply hate this entire mentality. I don’t care about reading groups in school. I hate the idea that we should ditch hierarchies because they hurt feelings. It’s ok for people to know that there are things they can’t do. It’s ok to be excluded. It’s ok to be aware that intellectual limitations exist. It’s ok to know that some people are a lot smarter.
“All must have prizes!”.
And yet the evidence is under everybody’s yes, if people want to see.
Who cares how many US high schoolers are functionally illiterate? As long as no one’s feelings are hurt, why should it matter?
