The corporate world has gone the same direction. Train to the level of the lowest ability employee.
Bring down your brightest children and you eventually reach the goal.
Watch the movie, "IDIOCRACY".
It's actually quite the opposite. The attempt is to bring all of the lower performing students to a higher level. I believe that this is unrealistic and probably the most fundamentally wrong aspect of CC. The concept was illustrated to me in the context of teaching your child to tie his shoes. You continue to teach that child until he does it correctly every time. Some learn more quickly than others, but all learn it eventually. Not realistic when we are talking about the entire spectrum of learners and more complex concepts.
