Parents whose own math education was more traditional believe [...] that the presence of weaker students [in mixed ability groups] will drag down the better ones.
These parents are so wrong. Nothing makes you better at math than to explain what you have understood, well what you think you have understood, to other students. It's a challenging exercise that will benefit the brightest (except for pretentious asses I guess).
