Think this is fair?

This one is about other students, not myself.
Do you really think it is fair for those who really puts down the effort and still struggle? We currently have GCSE level physics, chemistry, biology and maths one year before.. I am not saying I am struggling with this, it's a piece of cake, but other students that really want the higher marks struggle and struggle, and the more the teacher advances, the harder it is for them to keep up. I really feel sorry for them.
What are your opinion(s) on this?

In general I think it's just the way of the world that some people are naturally intelligent and can get away with doing very little whilst some people work very very hard and still don't seem to come away with much. Personally I can get away with doing the bare minimum which I don't like, because it gives me the opportunity to be lazy and in the past I've often become complacent.
Edited due to poor spelling. :rolleyes:
i think having mixed ability groups just has a negative effect on the class as a whole tbh - smarter students are held back but less able students struggle more... its not fair, but intergration is the way of the world these days... :yeees:
However, I would not have a problem with the courses that I do not specialise if they were raised. Take for example, Art is not where my ambition lies, but I would still be able to cope if the bar was raised.
Think how much more students would learn if the curriculum was specialised for every individual. I know this idea is hard to put into action because how do we know what student is more potent in and less potent in? I do also want to emphasise that i do not want the bar to be lowered, never. If the bar is lowered, then the idea of students learning more in one subject and less in another is used instead. The student might have problem later in life with courses that are compulsory.
For some reaon, we had that in every subject apart fron science. This meant that I didn't learn what I needed to and didn't do as well because of this.
