“Statistically speaking, tracking tended to diminish learning and boost inequality wherever it was tried. In general, the younger tracking happened, the worse the entire country did on PISA. There seemed to be some kind of ghetto effect: once kids were labeled and segregated into the lower track, their learning slowed down.”
Amanda Ripley, The Smartest Kids in the World: And How They Got That Way

“The inner fire is the most important thing mankind possesses.”
Edith Södergran
