I am looking to start a Masters in Special Education. What would you say are some of the biggest challenges in public and private schools?

I also believe people are too passive with students. A classroom needs structure and even if it means being the "mean" teacher, you need to provide it.
Kids want rules. Rules make kids feel safe. They also help them to focus on the important things, not testing the person trying to help them.

In schools today children have less motivation to do their work. They are so caught up in electronics and games they dont like sitting and reading. Schools are underfunded and honestly need more laptops or hand held devices that will help them engage.

I don't know if I like the idea of more electronics. I would rather find an incentive program to get kids excited about reading in lower grades. However, laptops in high school could help with writing because teachers are limited on the time spent towards proofreading and helping each student individually.

From my experience it is that kids who excel are held back by kids who do not, and kids who do not are made to feel badly by the kids who excel.
It is my opinion that higher level students, special needs or otherwise, need their own curriculum. Separating them allows each level of student to be his or her best.

How do you teach kids how to deal with competitiveness if they are all separated? Just a thought I had.

There's room for competition between groups on the same playing field. You wouldn't pit a high school football team against an NFL team and expect it to end well.
