Concrete examples don't help students learn math, study finds
Could it be that part of the problem be that the teachers who attempt to teach with "real world" concrete examples have never had any real world concrete experience. 12 years of school followed by 4-5 years of undergrad, now you are a teacher, teach about the real world. hmmm

Many of the observations about the increasing costs of rural education apply in rural Canada as well. Rural schools with highschool enrollments of under 100 students can't be sustained using current models. However, the use of technology would make it possible to deliver world connecting education with a fraction of the cost. Which means that small rural schools could be sustained. We won't be having the standard industrial model of one teacher per class per grade. And maybe that's a good thing, it was kind of an arbitrary arrangement anyway, more for the sake of administration than learning.
