[etni] Re: Eilat's action to stop school violence

Was in a school that used this system, except we didn't have an intercom to call for assistance. There are good and bad aspects to all programs that are system wide--all kids know what to expect. Still there are always teachers who seem to succeed better than others with regards to discipline. HAREL program is certainly better than just leaving the teachers alone to deal with the problems or expecting a teacher to intuitively know how to work with the problem children.

IMHO if class sizes aren't reduced, nothing will really succeed. Moreover ALL classes of LD kids should have NO MORE than 12 children in them.

My own problem was that I couldn't deal with the pressure of the large classes of kids (26 non-readers was a nightmare too) no matter what the discipline system was.
Having a better time working in university or private situations.
