    I believe that this is a great way to deal with...
    the difference in the rate of learning between students.
    the struggles from the students outside of the normal distribution.
    differences in motivation and goals.
    et cetera.

    Related to this is Utah's fairly new college 'Utah College of Applied Technology' which will offer Associate degrees and certificates. High school students can choose to attend classes at the individual schools that make up this college for part of the normal school day. UCAT is currently preparing for regional accreditation.
