      I agree with a kit if what is being said here, many of my students simply take calculus because it is the next class in the progression.

      Ideally this is true, but many students don't have that many options. An alternative may be to split them into carefully made groups.
  • But you’re in ninth grade and you’ve already taken nearly all the math classes your school offers. They were all pretty easy for you and you’re ready for a greater challenge.

      I haven't ever had a student in 9th grade ready for Calculus, but I get the point.

  • That student who breezed unchallenged through algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, will breeze through calculus, too
  • Rather than learning more and more tools, avid students are better off learning how to take tools they have and apply them to complex problems. Then later, when they learn the more advanced tools of curricular education, applying them to even more complicated problems will come more easily
  • Students of like interest and ability feed off of each other.
