I too attended a combined 2nd and 3rd grade class, which I think was an experiment at the time. The total class size was smaller than most. The teacher gave us smarter 2nd graders a lot of independent and reading assignments which we loved, allowing her to spent more individual time with each of the slower 3rd graders helping to get them up to where they needed to be as a 3rd grader. They put us back in a mixed intelligence 3rd grade class the next year which I hated, but for 5th grade my class was only the most intelligent. Sixth grade was again mixed, but with independent "SRA enrichment studies" on a variety of topics for the more intelligent and diligent. From the standpoint of smarter students, I know they're much better off being segregated into classes just for the intelligent. Being mixed in with slower students uninterested in school was an agony of boredom as the teacher had to go at a slower pace.
