I think we have the technology to challenge the smart kids in a mixed classroom. The dumber kids will act as a sort of social regularizer and the smart ones will be allowed to progress at a faster pace. I think classes should be "stationary" and individual students will move through them at their own pace, challenging for the good ones and slow for the slower ones. No kid should leave the class until they have mastered the subject. They could also move at different paces through different subjects. I believe the current system's limitations stem from the teacher's capacity to attend to at most 30 students at a time, this may have been the case when everything was whiteboard. But now you have iPads and interactive websites and so on.
