So just because?

Because we know it can be done and how to do it.

Have different classes at different speeds.

We already have that. Education is more than a series of classes. It's the social interactions too.

However, to say that segregation of kids should be the norm is a dangerous. IMO reckless.

I find it dangerous, reckless and disingenuous for you to use a loaded term like "segregation".

The word segregation is off limits?

Sure, we all know the historical connotations, but we also all know the actual definition of the word. Though I will say, given the correlation between educational resources and race, the historical connotation may be appropriate in some of these gifted vs non gifted situations.
