I appreciate and understand many of the techniques presented for managing the classroom, students and curriculum, and utilize them whenever necessary or possible. However, in an accelerated program, where we are often fortunate to cover the required material on time, it is not always easy or practical to stop and take time from class instruction for these activities merely to focus one or two students who lack the ability to be intellectually present. While I get that the material may not be the most enjoyable, and strive to make it interesting, relevant and interactive, it still detracts from the remainder of the class to break because of one or two students when time is so precious.
