Thanks for the reply!
Good observation!
I've noticed the following.
Schools seem to have no problem separating kids by ability when it comes to sports and athletics.
They have no problem with putting kids on 'bad' and 'good' sports teams.
The 'bad' kids don't get to learn from the 'good' kids, and the good kids don't get the practice from tutoring the bad kids (granted, there probably isn't as much value in the tutoring aspect for athletics as there is for academics).
If we put so much emphasis on 'fairness' in academics, why not in athletics?
Or vice-versa?
It just seems wrong to me.
I'm not a sock puppet.
I don't know how to prove it, but if you can think of a way, I'm all for it.
I haven't made any anonymous posts in this thread, I swear. I only have one Slashdot account, I again swear.

Also, I just thought I'd add:
A typical class period for us is 45 minutes, but some (I have no idea why they vary) are only 40.
A double-period is 90 minutes, minus a 5-minute break in the middle.
Again, double periods are much more productive. Most kids seem to do OK with a few of them a week, but I'd love more.
I'm not sure about the others, though.
Thanks for the reply!
Perhaps, if we do separate by ability, schools could work out some compromise like this (this is something we did at my Hebrew school one year):
Once every few classes, the advacned class could come and tutor the other class. That way, the lower class gets the benefit of one-on-one tutoring, as well as being with the advanced kids.
The advacned kids get the advantage of the extra practice of that comes with tutoring, and they get more challenging curriculum other times.
How does an arangement like that sound?

Thanks for the response!
Those are great ideas; I agree entirely with you.
I'll keep these things in mind.
As for the paragraphs, I tried, but whenever I pressed 'return', Slashdot just ignored it.
