Not necessarily so. The kid with the 90 IQ benefits greatly from
associating with the kid with the 140 IQ. And the kid with the 140 IQ
will
learn just as fast in the presence of the one with the 90 IQ, AND
learn a
little about compassion for those not as fortunate as him/herself.
And
what do you suggest we do with the kid with the 140 IQ with learning
disabilities, who can read as well as the kid with the 90 IQ? I
suggest
that we train teachers to teach all the children and we will all live
in a
more well-rounded society.

Put the kid with the 140 IQ who reads at the 90 level with others who
read at the 90 level for reading class. Put them together for
something that doesn't require IQ such as Gym Class. There are slow
classes and there are accelerated classes FOR A REASON.
The one w/140 I say will be bored if learning with kids who are a lot
slower and could even get into trouble for that boredom (that's what
they often do!).

Then everyone learns to their capacity.
