Read an article today (http://www.omaha.com/article/20100222/NEWS01/702229916) about schools in Omaha that want to try to reform education. They want to ability group students instead of group them by age. I am really interested in this idea. I really want to see how this works.
Yes... it is highly controversial. There are benefits and drawbacks of course. But, when I think of what I can do with a classroom full of students near the same level, I am much more optimistic that when I see I classroom full of TOTALLY spread out students. I can do my best, but it will NEVER cut it. More on this idea later... when it isn't 11:20 PM. I need to go to bed... so I can be mentally refreshed for tomorrow. Tomorrow is... another day.
