[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 677497, member: 11791"] OK. I can see where that works with neuro-typical kids. What does "collaborative group work" do to our non-neurotypical kids? It destroys them. Because there alternative thought processes don't fit - at ALL - in a collaborative model. They are told they are "stupid", told to "shut up", shunned. The best teachers cannot overcome the normal reactions of neurotypical kids. (The worst ones support the neurotypical bullies.) The point being... at some point we HAVE to stop trying to create an "education system" that is expected to meet all needs. Right now, every change made in a positive direction is having an equally (or more) impact in a negative direction. [/QUOTE]
