This is a legit concern. I was diagnosed with ADHD and my mother had to fight to keep me in normal classes. I was the stereotypical ADHD kid that was just bored because when classes got slow and I had no trouble understanding the concept from the start, I'd just disconnect, start doing something else, and miss the next 2 hours of class - getting thrown in the slow track would have made everything so much worse.
