I am busy working in self-contained classes helping 6th-8th graders out as well as tutoring other violent kids but I love it! The challange is definatly finding a happy medium of all the kids in the class and yet trying to not let others fall behind. Its definately an on going battle--definatly know where you are coming from on days like this teaching! Good luck! good luck agreed!!

Then of thos students, personalize the questions. Ask them about something they didn't seem to get in the test, then give it as a take home essay question or something... This way, they have the chance to learn about the topic they didn't seem to get, and potentially, each student will have different answers as to alieviate the possibility of copying. Obvious downside, more work for you. Just an idea. Good luck. Sounds like things are going well overall.
