14. "rubber room"?
Edited on Fri Sep-24-10 07:54 AM by NYC_SKP
"disruptive children lose their right to an education"???

:wtf:

Many or most of those who would qualify for the "rubber room" under your scheme deserve better and might simply be victims of a system that perpetuates a failed concept that all children should conform to a singular educational model.

And many will have unidentified cognitive or emotional disabilities.

I agree that "streaming" may be a good idea, it ought not be based on conformity but rather on skills, interests, and learning styles.

The failure of public education is that it tries to force individual and unique human beings into a one-size-fits all educational model, and punishes those who will not conform.

:patriot:
