I agree. Also, as a teacher, there are special needs students who do not work well in group settings. I have a student in my class with autism. He is constantly taking kids pencils out of their hands, getting up and leaving the room, etc. While he is very bright, he doesn't work well in groups. Even after meeting with the SPED teachers, we agree that individualized instruction would benefit this student more and other students. I would also like to add that we do try to put him in groups, but it does but more workload on the others in the group.
