Separating them allows each level of student to be his or her best. Kate N.

A classroom needs structure and even if it means being the &quot;mean&quot; teacher, you need to provide it.<br /><br />Kids want rules. Rules make kids feel safe. They also help them to focus on the important things, not testing the person trying to help them. Kate N.

They are so caught up in electronics and games they dont like sitting and reading. Schools are underfunded and honestly need more laptops or hand held devices that will help them engage.
