Reply #37: In this case, [View All]

It's only for pre-pubescent kids (fifth grade in this case) and there's a choice. There would also be 2 co-ed classes for those that would benefit from that, as well as those who don't want their kids in a single gender classroom. It's just another option for those who'd benefit from that, like my son.

This particular teacher used different teaching methods for boys, like allowing them to move around while learning. He had these floor seats that allowed the boys to rock or wiggle while sitting on the floor, stuff like that. Anyway, my son thrived in his enviornment, but, he's also ADHD, so, the motion allowed him to concentrate more effectively. In his middle school, they allow him to fiddle. It's actually quite remarkable to them that he fiddles, yet, always knows his material and has been on the honor rollfor the first time. Sometimes they have to bring back on task, but, the fiddling seems to keep him involved.
