[quote=Anonymous][quote]The other thing I would mention is how school is structured.  I think there is a certain expectation that all kids have to be able to succeed in a very specific way and if you change the school environment you can reach kids that may not do as well the traditional way.  My child changed schools and I can't say whether the teacher having a child psychology background, more gym periods and shorter period blocks or what has made the difference.  Similar I would think to charter schools that have been successful with low income children.[/quote]

Well, that's ultimately part and parcel of the whole issue that everyone is in denial of.  Not all kids are exactly the same and not all kids learn the same way.  Yet they want to pretend all kids are exactly the same and they want to teach them all the same way = and the reason for this is entirely about politics, and someone's idea about optics as opposed to being more soundly based on reality, child development, and pedagogy.  All the more reason there DOES need to be tracking and specialized programs, to help meet kids needs.  [/quote]
