Individualized, personalized education sounds nice, but some kids get anxiety from that much attention. I was placed in small classes because they thought I had a learning disability, but eventually forced my way into average classes. I did just as well being 1 of 15 students as I did being 1 of 5 students. I’d rather have had a large class where I could go with everyone else’s flow then have every paced to what they thought I could handle.
I had a teacher in what I think is the equivalent to college (11th to 13th grade) who handed out work sheets with exercises he expected everyone to do and an additional “for fans” section. That alone made a difference for me
