I was saying this 20 years ago,when I was at school,and I'd say it today again:screw them.If someone isn't interested in education,transfer them to some sort of special needs class,where he/she would match the rest,as there's absolutely no point of dragging the entire class because of a few rotten apples. Of course, social services should work closely with school in case there are issues in the family that may be causing it.Same applies at work,where you get 20 people on the same salary,yet a couple require 20 times more attention because of x,y,z...
- saagarjha 7y agoAs I've mentioned below, I'm not talking about students who aren't "interested in education", I'm talking about classes that are fundamentally dull to the point that students find it reasonable to find distractions rather than focus on what's being taught.

I want to be insanely careful about giving much in the way of details. I know that doesn't do much to bolster what I wrote, but I also need to be careful about exposing myself or a Customer to any liability. You can find the kind of cases I'm talking about by searching for "FAPE" (free appropriate public education) and "ADHD", "disability", and such.
