It would seem possible to help both gifted and less able students succeed to their ability; however, the editorial assumes otherwise.

there needs to be too many levels to deal with different requirements. remedial, low performing/ minimal, average, advanced, and honors.
the highest achieving classes right now are barely more than average. also, they would need to point this stuff out on diplomas.

Tracking solved this problem for many years. Forming classes of like-ability students allows those students to succeed at a pace appropriate to their abilities.

Unfortunately, that’s not PC these days.
