Quite frankly, this section scared me due to the myriad of levels in which our students are. In other words, how does one go about addressing the fact that they are from different backgrounds and may have different ideas about morals and values. Better yet, how does one go about compartmentalizing the differences?
Well, relax. This has already been done. From my vantage point and in a wonderful display of "cooperation", classes reason (on their own) the best way to go about operating as a class. This is usually brought forward by an undercurrent of "motus operandi" on behalf of the better performing students. All other students seen to follow their lead until they find that they can or cannot handle the responsibility. Thereafter, they begin to adapt reasons that have been presented through past examples of those that have been successful at producing lackluster performances.
