In my opinion there is a time and place for everything. Every student has a separate goal of what they want to get from their education. There should always remain a constant that the material is understood. My problem was trying to stretch myself out to cuddle age and cultural diversity. I may have a class with a student going to school in order to stay out of jail and an retired veteran using his GI benefits to pay his rent. Unfortunately both these students aren't looking to improve their career and waste class time. In my opinion there's a limit that if the student ventures to far out you might as well let them fall off the edge, or they'll just end up taking the rest of the class down with them.
