Re: I hereby no longer believe in heterogeneous grouping

Seems like the problem is the classroom itself.  Or, really, the setting
of the classroom.

At L-S in the Computer Center, different people were at different "levels"
and it was fine.  I was still terrible at chess, but I didn't care.

But, maybe, people who hung out at the Computer Center were self-selecting
and, in a different context, people wouldn't naturally just mix it up.  I
remember Michael Teixeira not hanging out at the Computer Center after a
while because he was afraid of being called a "computer fag".

Perhaps you are right: heterogeneity has to be accepted.
