Not in high schools they do stream the classes in to top middle and bottom groups they also have special needs groups that are taught in a part of the school away from the others. Some high schools also have the refferal unit where the disruptive ones from any group gets sent for punishment, these children are not allowed to mix with the rest of the school.
School isn't ideal and the latest timed everything isn't helping those who can be a little slow to pick up and retain information. Todays school is all timed 10 mins talk 10 mins reading or explaining and 20 mins writing. Most children don't pay atention when they are on the carpet time ( 20 mins ) so then they are asking what they are supposed to do. When we was at school you wasn't made to sit around on the floor listening for 20 mins then go back to your desk to work. You was't allowed to sit in groups where others could distract you. Todays educations has loads of areas where a disruptive child can mess around in the old method tables all in a row facing the teacher was 100% better. IMPO anyway The full hour working in your books after a few mins introduction then the teacher helping those who still don't understand is better than all sitting for 20 mins and the teacher trying to re-explain to the others in hte 20 mins they should be writing. hence not a lot of writing is going on by some.
