[quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree that the kids who need extra help should be in classes with lower teacher:student ratios. I volunteer in my kids' classes and I definitely see how these kids would benefit with more one-on-one attention. They are not less intelligent - they are just getting left behind because the class moves too fast for them.[/quote]

I volunteer too and see the same thing. The kids who are struggling are not less intelligent but many seem less motivated to work independently. Small things like one on one direction praising what they did and then asking them to write a noter sentence or include some describing words make a big difference. There are kids at the bottom just because the teacher can't give out any motivation through grades (everyone is a P) and doesn't have enough one on one time with the students. There are kids in the middle who can do much more when encouraged to do it. The system does nothing for them and just lets them skate by with the bare minimum. Its all very sad. [/quote]
