QTP: Rich tasks are for everyone

Overheard: The modified "rich version" of the task would have been too difficult for some students, so we gave them the original worksheet and one teacher took those students aside to work on it together. 

But... If the rich version of the task is "better" for learning, why shouldn't the struggling students work on it too?
