Even that premise is not even true. What tends to happen when you mix low performing students with high performing students is that the high performing students are held back. If the institutions are geared towards mediocracy forcing everyone to attend them won't make the institutions better.
That depends upon the size of the school and how they track kids etc.
Larger schools over a range of classes from more basic up to honors\AP etc.
Is sure not holding back my kids given they aren't even in the same classroom with low performing students the vast majority of time.
they didn't publish that article because they believe it, or that they would actually take their own advice (given the choice). No, they wrote that article for the page clicks it would generate.
And congrats, OP, on helping slate achieve more page clicks on such an inane article.
This is very true Slate and Salon troll big time but I get a kick out of their posts. Matt Yglesias has taken to affirming the virtues of abolishing religion in defense of this article. It's quite comical to watch these guys troll on Twitter.
If the parents of a failiing school tolerate it, then it is their own fault. My parents yanked me out of public school in Richmond, VA the 1970's when they started "bussing".
Don't care. I'm at the point where I am tired of giving a ****. I've played by the rules my whole life and worked hard while many others have gotten fat and lazy living off the Great Society Programs that have destroyed this once great country.
Your attitude will only make things worse for you and the rest of us as well.

Nope. My attitude is that of my migrant forefathers that came to this country to work hard and pursue the advantage of the Promise of Freedoms this Once Great Nation provided. That is my attitude. If the majority of people in this country REadopted this attitude our public schools would once again be the envy of the modern world.

The vast majority of people in this country work hard. Even "those people" you like to attack.
I have a stake in public schools and send mine to private. You POS *******s tax the crap out of me to fund your decaying 19th century socialist propaganda machines without any recompense.
Ask Obum**** where he sent his kids to school in Chicago.
That Slater can her take her judgements and cram them back down her pie hole from whence they came.
??? Be grateful you own your home. In Michigan, Republicans tax rental property for schools at four times the school tax rate on owner-occupied homes.
My parents did not work to put us in a nice neighborhood and pay property taxes for schools NOT in our area that were sub-standard.
