I'm sorry, I'm not understanding the phrase about "all students have to work, all the time". Might you try putting this into other words to help me understand? Thnx.

Meanwhile to help you see what I don't understand about "work all the time"...
- Hopefully kids get recess, breaks, etc!
- Hopefully no demoralizing, wheel-spinning "busy work"
- Hopefully kids are not regularly working to tutor others while waiting for the class to "catch up"
- Hopefully kids are learning new things, while being flexible cluster grouped with others who are receiving the same curriculum and instruction at their ZPD... working at their challenge level, an effort-praiseworthy level, and growing their brains
