The original source of the article is Bild, a German tabloid. I don’t see this story relayed on other reputable news outlets.

Big red flag for me. Let’s see how things are evolving but I’ll be skeptical until then.

In my country (and in many othets I suspect), the number of pupils per teacher keeps increasing. It’s really hard to individualize teaching when you have 30 pupils :(

Sure sure. But we’re defunding all that under the current administration, so its a moot point.

Just a quick comment that I am not american ;)

If there really were a single dimension axis of smartness, won’t there be a “smartest” and a “least smart” in every classroom? And if they’re in the wrong class and they leave, won’t there be two new pupils at the extremes? This argument of “you’re in the wrong class” always sounded elitist to me.

The important is that the teacher tailors the teaching to the students. Spend more time on the ones who struggle, give extra stuff to do to the quickest (e.g. help teaching to other pupils).

I’ve also always been against separating children by “intelligence”. Having a “smart” class and a “dumb” class is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That being said, there are children who have special needs and who require a teacher who has the proper formation to help them.

Minimalist necromancy.

Disappointed that this comic isn’t older and I can’t binge read it :( But I’m eager to read the rest!

It looks more like a Savoy cross than Danish.
