[quote=Anonymous]11:34, seems great in principle but being slowed down or expected to help the other kids constantly instead of moving forward with your own learning can be a drag (somewhat my experience) or needing extra help and time when others are zooming right past you and you always have to be an exception because you can't keep pace with the work (my child's experience) tells me heterogeneous classroom aren't implemented in a way that achieves the goal. Seeing both ends of the curve has made me favor tracking more than I thought I would in the abstract. The current trend towards group projects makes some of these issues even more difficult. Most of these kids are not given the facilitation to help them work productively with kids much different than themselves. Slow kids are shunted to the side and given nominal things to work on, the advanced kids shoulder the bulk of the work.

Clearly there should be some better way for this to work. What is missing in the classroom that makes it so difficult to have a mix of abilities?[/quote]
