In Brazil, educational discussions often address the tension between single-level classes (which promote standardized instruction) and mixed-level classes (which reflect real classroom diversity). Single-level classes are sometimes called 'homogeneous grouping' in educational policy discussions. In programming contexts, this term is less commonly used but appears in discussions of simple class design and inheritance patterns.
