Teachers are encouraged now to "differentiate" their instruction. But how possible is it for teachers to customize learning in crowded classrooms of 35 students? I explore that topic today. In a guest column, a school choice advocate says the Georgia special education voucher has rescued many children with special needs from classrooms that were not only unproductive for them, but dangerous. And readers take up the traditional math vs. integrated math debate; it's still relevant in Georgia, where schools can adopt either approach.
