I struggle, however, with the question about if the classroom is the best place for all kids and would love to hear your thoughts. What about a child who tends to be violent. I would like to believe that all students can be accommodated but I have seen situations that seem impassible. I really struggle with this. I have this same reaction every time I watch that video!!!

I know all about those pendulums in educational thought and theory, but I agree that there's no going back from treating all children as unique learners - once you see that there are things you can do to help ALL children learn better, why would you discontinue those things?
