Amazing how like preschool the middle years are, isn't it?<br />Kristy, it is a huge challenge to meet the needs of every single student in a large class, but it is not impossible to establish a relationship of understanding that encourages compromise on the part of both teacher and students! <br />It requires a change of focus on the school's part from teaching curriculum to teaching students!Dorothy.Shaplandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01859830204047363942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482783672097180786.post-91393006032997428472011-03-26T19:58:30.908-06:002011-03-26T19:58:30.908-06:00Well said!!!
