        After completing my masters' this summer I can tell you for a
fact that students in our elementary school who are behavior problems
don't learn math computation as well as non - behavior problem
students*. And I can tell you by how much they don't learn as well as
their counterparts.
 
*Behavior problem students are those who were either referred to our
intervention team because the teacher and principal found their methods
to have little impact, or the student was sent to the school
psychologist for behavior assistance.
 
Keep your stick on the Ice,
