I am a public school teacher and I would love the one room school house concept. I also believe that students should not be placed by age or grade level but by interest and ability but the ADA took that option away. So you do have kids that would benefit from a slower pace in a classroom with kids that would benefit from a faster pace, and a teacher trying to juggle it and make everyone happy. A one room school house would cut down on class size and students could work more at their own pace and would be located in their own neighborhoods and it would be much easier to actually teach instead of babysit all day.
