[quote=Anonymous]Starr has been clear in various forums that he believes that kids of different abilities should be in the same classroom. Kids who are behind learn from the ones who are further ahead. Reality of this is seen inside classrooms. For those who want proof, I agree with some others here. Spend a week or two in some classrooms. Hear what teachers have to say. Too many groups, too little time. Starr's social justice dream can't fit in the hours in a school day. Yes, all kids need to be taught. All kids need to learn. Lumping them all together and saying it's for the greater good is a cop-out. Kids don't learn to walk at the same time, they don't learn to talk at the same time. They learn at different paces. Three level groups in a classroom works. Six (as happens in many classrooms around here) means that someone's not getting something that they need.[/quote]
