=MY Ideal teaching Situation VS yours...IDEAL...for trying new things...very advantageous=
 * last three years...1 to 1 gifted classroom...intelligent kids who want to learn...
 * 10-15 students at a time...
 * smaller groups...and these kids learned to help eachother out...
 * much of what I show you will be difficult to do without a similar situation...
 * but I still believe you will be able to use bits and pieces of what I show you...
