This title notwithstanding, this article is mostly a review of a math teaching tool called ASSISTments, first developed in 2003 and chugging along since then. It reference some recent in-house studies like this one suggesting "the 3,000 students who had used ASSISTments in seventh grade outperformed 3,000 peers who hadn't." This, of course, is far from proof of the value of one-size-fits-all instruction. But the main appeal seems to be this, in any case: "One-size-fits-all instruction may not be perfect, but it keeps the humans in the picture."
