Being in applied math does not mean that they require more homework to bring them up to snuff. It also does not imply that they do not have the so called smarts to be in the pure math program. It merely means they are not in the highest stream pure math program because it will not be useful to whatever career path they have chosen. In other words, they will not be entering any post secondary program that has pure math as a requirement.
Those taking applied math instead of pure math will still get their grade 12 matriculation diploma upon graduation.
