We find that —Targeted students perform better in high-stakes exams when they are allowed to, and thus miss more classes (possibly allowing for more self-study) and — Targeted students in academically diverse classrooms miss more classes and benefit more.

Best part of the day (in an attempt to forget about ARC) was that I spent a very productive day presenting my ongoing work on role models at @Hitotsubashi_U and met all these very nice and ambitious researchers. Thank you very much @meradeet for organising!
