In "Should Tracking Be Derailed?", Laura Mansnerus argues that the debate over tracking in schools are hurting some students and not help helping others. The greatest point mentioned is that not only are students being separated by their ability but also by classrooms. The issue with tracking is its definition because it is used differently based on whether someone is an advocate for or a proponent of tracking. Also, Mansnerus explains about how tracking was difficult to remove from one particular middle school by a principal but tracking was eventually eliminated because the parents of students who were in lower tracks spoke out.
