[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having 2 kids in green zoon schools and an immigrant. I believe the integrated class drains more energy from teacher (a teacher has to prepare teaching materials for kids in 7 different levels according to a recent Post article) and no one, doesn't matter if you are advanced or below the level, wins. My son knows the slow kids in his class because he help them in math classes (3rd grade). My extreme experimental model is to switch the students between a red and green school but not school building and teachers. My prediction is that the students will not change their perfomance. Integration itself will not change students' achivement. You need god teacher who are trained to focus on the special student group to bring the best of them. Integration just burns the teachers with too much work therefore reduces their productivity. [/quote]

Many students perform poorly because of environment.  Why do parents at all costs try not to send their kids to the red zone schools?  Its not because the teachers are poor its because the cultural norms or low income kids can influence their child.  So it only stands to reason that low income students around all low income students are basically screwed.  If they are around other kids with a higher cultural level they can observe and benefit from those students.  Segregating the two groups accomplishes nothing.[/quote]
