What did I value/appreciate

Question: Is differentiated instruction working? Answer: (Rick Gaisford) Yes, at least in Utah it has made a difference as can be seen from the AYP's. eMints is in Utah also and those students in eMints classrooms tend to do better than other students at the same school. Answer: (Just to left of Rick) Statistically, yes. eMints helps students with special learning needs including those with Learning Disabilities, autism, behavioral issues, and other difficulties.

Children should be valued as individuals and treated as such in education. It is like when you go to the doctor when sick. He will prescribe a specific remedy for what ails you, rather than telling everyone that comes in that day the same thing, no matter what is wrong with them.
