Fires in the Bathroom Chapter 5 Quick Response

When the book specifies not expecting uniform work out of all your students I really thought it was important. They give a quote of a student who stressed being fair to all the kids and understand the different learning levels in your classroom (97).
I really connected with this bit of information because I see it everyday in my mentor’s classroom. There are kids of every age and learning type in our classes and he realizes that some have better understandings of the material than others. What makes it difficult for him is that it’s a math class and you cant really say, well he got part of the answer just like this other kid, but this one understands better so he should get more points off because in math the answers are so concrete.
