Math Level Separation

Do you think that separating people into different math levels is a good thing? Are you one of the people who think, "Yeah, it's great, being in an honors algebra class. I don't have any immature people who slow me and my teacher down in teaching us. Everyone is so serious, yet algebra is probably the best subject within our 8 periods of school, besides lunch." or do you say, "I think it's great! Being in a lower level math means that i can get really high grades without even trying! When I get that paper back, I always know it's above a 90!". Or, do you think negatively about this system? "I wish that math class wasn't so hard. And i wish that Mrs. Chemris wouldn't give so much homework, or grade us harshly on tests."

For me, I personally love the separation in math classes. Though sometimes Mrs. Speelman does grade us harshly, and our homework must be flawless in order to recieve full credit, I am glad that I learn something new everyday, rather than the same thing over a period of days.
