I think this is more an argument for smaller class sizes and more individualized instruction, not necessarily eliminating honors classes altogether.

- aaaxyz 5y agoThere's a significant shortage of teachers in the US & Canada, especially for math & sciences, so I'm not sure how we could realistically reduce class sizes in the short to medium term
- remarkEon 5y agoYeah, fair point. I guess from my perspective (my sister is a teacher at a charter school in Iowa that does have lower class sizes and much better educational outcomes) smaller class sizes seem like such low hanging fruit if the objective is simply to improve learning, not over-specify some testing metric.
