  How rude is it to correct other people's children's behavior?

  We went to see Star Trek too, and we were lucky enough to sit next to this group of people who kept clapping and laughing obnoxiously every 5 minutes. So yeah, it’s people like that who ruin the experience for everyone else. I wouldn’t feel comfortable talking to the parents but I spoke to one of the ushers after the movie and asked them how to handle this kind of situation next time and he said to just come out and notify them, and they’ll come in and talk to them, if it happens again, they’ll ask them to leave.

  What's a good aluminum-free deoderant?

  My husband uses Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Aluminum Free deoderant. It doesn’t really smell like anything. But it goes on dry and works pretty well. And he always smells good so I know for sure it works. I still use Dove, now why can’t they make the aluminum free deoderants smell like spring, baby powder, shower fresh…and all those other fake smells… So anyway, yeah I’d try Desert Essence.

  Are you in favor the tracking system in schools?

  @jayne: She explained to me that in the British system, students are put on individualized tracks. So each student has a personalized educational plan. Now it just might be that it appears to be better because usually things look more appealing from a distance and are a completely different story when actually practiced.

  Are you in favor the tracking system in schools?

  My sister-in-law has been an educator for 15 years. She emailed me this response to include since she doesn’t have a fluther account. She says: In my humble opinion and after inspecting 12% of the schools in Dubai, if tracking is done according to the British method, it would allow students to progress based on abilities while allowing differentiation in each classroom. This allows the teacher to meet the need of different students without holding back the more able ones and equally importantly without neglecting the ones who don’t get it the first time around. Students are not one size fit all. Tracking in the U.S. is done differently. Lumping low performers together does not help them, it demoralizes them and does not push them to “raise the bar.” A lot of students come in the classroom having failed the course the first time around and being in the same class almost makes failure contagious. This was my experience with tracking in Florida. And yes, in general, it does favor white, rich students. It takes a great teacher to teach in the mixed abilities classroom and optimize the learning process for individual students, moving it to independent learning. We still have a lot to learn about education and which process works best.

  Are you in favor the tracking system in schools?

  Tracking is the practice, in education, of placing students into different groups within a school, based on academic abilities. The higher the ability group, the more difficult and advanced the coursework.
