TW - Your last post was interesting. I agree with you, but the testing-nation we have become will not allow for a lot of integration. A section the No Child Left Behind act (NCLB) stipulates that teachers must be "highly qualified" in the subject area they teach. On the surface that seems important, and in a way it is. But the expertise in one field or one subject will cause many new hires to think that integration is an anomaly of the 1970's.
