Honestly, nothing has done a better job of solidifying my understanding of a material than trying to explain it to other people. We should be giving students more opportunities to do this, not less.

How does giving some students AP classes take away their opportunity to tutor other classmates? Do they not have friends in the non-gifted track?
That’s fallacious.

The students won’t get a chance to learn the advanced material by examining it to others because they won’t be allowed to learn the advanced material.

How do people not see the harms in banning advanced classes?

You're presupposing that the only possible way to provide enrichment is by tracking people into advanced classes.
