[quote=Anonymous]I work as a related service provider in secondary. I spend a lot of time observing in mixed classrooms (from honors kids to struggling to read). I consistently see classroom teachers calling on the "higher" kids to answer questions, just so they can keep teaching and not slow down to wait for the "lower" kids to understand. There's too much material to get through to slow down, but then my SPED kids get ignored. I would much rather see differentiated classrooms, with scaled back curriculums. Because as it stands now the "lower" kids aren't getting much of anything of of these classes, and in the right setting they would be able to get enough information to benefit. The gap gets wider and wider as they get older and it becomes nearly impossible to get them back in track. I don't know what the answer is, but change is most definitely needed. [/quote]
