Use grade level. Then you create a map showing where certain grade levels tend to hang out. I’d use the lunch break to have a consistent time frame. Where grade levels hang out will vary by time of day so you want to keep that constant.

So which demographics did you use?

Very interesting post. Demographic studies are always fascinating.

Also racial studies can be done with a huge success, for sure.

But in Brazil this kind of study would touch a hard taboo, and as Miss Profe said: “too many are afraid of what it reveals”.

Race is always a fascinating demographic. However, too many are afraid of what it reveals.

This is totally unrelated and I just found it so I haven’t had time to think a lot about it…but it sure seems like he’s on to something about how to set up a task in such a way that kids succeed at it, want to do it, see success quickly and often, AND that doesn’t take all day or even every day. It reminds me of your assessments, in that I’m betting that kids would be *asking* to do this.

That and I’m wondering once I’m certified and have a job if I can convince them to put a pull-up bar in my elementary classroom!

In the vein of questioning where we live. The closest dot to me is about 6 hours away. Somehow I doubt it’s that we’re in perfect balance.

Really, I just need to spend more time at the local cowboy bar.

@Sylvia, yeah, I mean population density and looks are a consideration. Not even Philly’s gonna save me from my hunchback.

@Tony, you want me fired for sure.

Moved to Philly in 1999. Met my current wife in 2004. You are telling me Philly has more women than men? Hmmm…So what youse saying is I (statisticly speaking), am pretty pathetic?
