I can only hope that this attempt is taken more seriously than the largely muted and clearly unsuccessful protests of late last season... although the plane writing escapade brought some much - needed attention to the matter, it failed to resonate with fence - sitters and those who had just recently fell off the Wenger truck... without a big enough showing of support the whole endeavor appeared relatively weak and poorly organized, especially to the major media outlets, whose involvement could have significantly changed what was to follow... but I get it, few wanted to turn on their club, let alone make a public display of their discord... problem is, they are preying on that vulnerability, in fact, their counting on you to keep your thoughts to yourself... who are you to tell these fat cats how to steal your money... they have worked long and hard to pull the wool over your eyes... they even went so far as to pay enormous sums of cash to your once beloved professor to be their corporate spokesmodel so that the whole thing would be more palatable... eventually the club made it appear as if this was simply a relatively
small fringe
group of highly radicalized supporters, which allowed the pro-Wenger element inside the club hierarchy to claim victory following the FA Cup win... unfortunately what has happened to this club can't be solved by FA Cups or a few players coming in, the very culture of this club needs to be changed and that starts at the top... in order to change the unhealthy and dysfunctional narrative that has absorbed this club we need to remove everyone who presently occupies a position of power... only then can we get back to the business of playing championship caliber football, which should always be the number one priority of this organization... on an important side note, one of the most devastating mistakes made in the final days of this hectic and poorly planned transfer window didn't have to do with the big name players like Sanchez or Lemar, but the fact that they failed to secure Jadon Sancho, who might even start for Dortmund this season... I think they might seriously regret this oversight... instead of
spending so much
time, energy and manpower pretending that they were desperately trying to make big moves, they once again lost the plot due to their all too familiar tunnel vision

Researchers from RAND studying the first year of Vermont's implementation of portfolio assessments for fourth and eighth graders found that the development of portfolios (work was selected by students with input from classroom teachers) had several positive educational outcomes: Students and teachers were more enthusiastic and had a more positive attitude about learning, teachers devoted «substantially more attention» to problem solving and communication (two areas represented by portfolios), students
spent more
time working in
small groups or in pairs, and teachers felt the portfolios afforded them a new perspective on student work.
Due to the complexity of the study, the fact that many of the classroom variables focus on grades 1 - 3 (e.g., student level of engagement,
time spent in
small - or whole -
group instruction, preferred interaction style), and the use of different outcome measures, the kindergarten classrooms were dropped from the analysis.
We used three levels of the teacher accomplishment rating (most, moderately, and least accomplished) as the independent variable and eight scores from the teacher factor set derived from our empirical data (
time spent in
small -
group instruction,
time spent in whole -
group instruction,
time spent in independent reading, student engagement rating, home communication rating, preferred style of telling, preferred style of recitation, and preferred style of coaching) as the set of dependent measures.
Our finding that
time spent in
small -
group instruction characterized the most accomplished teachers and the teachers in our most effective schools hearkens back to the important findings of the 1970s (Anderson et al., 1979; Stallings & Kaskowitz, 1974).
Results
Time spent in
small group instruction for reading distinguished the most effective schools from the other schools in the study and was offered by teachers in these schools as a reason for their success.
Across these activities, students in the more effective schools
spent more
time in
small group instruction than students in the moderately and least effective schools (see Table 2).
In a follow - up intervention study of first - grade teachers engaged in
small -
group instruction, Anderson, Evertson, and Brophy (1979) found that greater achievement was related to more

spending more
time in
small -
group instruction (M = 48.25 minutes per day) than students with teachers rated as moderately accomplished (M = 38.67 mpd), who, in turn,
spent more
time than students with teachers rated as least accomplished (M = 25.35 mpd).
