I'm not a psychologist or an educator. I was curious if Marsh ever made mention of whether putting a medium-ability student into a low proficiency school would cause this affect on the low-ability kids. 71.182.136.214 (talk) 08:16, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I never came across an explicit mention of such a scenario. However, I believe it is relatively safe to assume that the BFLPE would still exist, but it would be smaller than it otherwise would if the medium ability students were high ability students.
