Multi-Age Classrooms -- Non-graded (or "multi-grade") classes exist for reasons ranging from low student enrollment to the law (primary classes in Kentucky, for instance, must be multi-age). Do you think that teaching students of many ages in one class makes sense?

A) Yes, multi-age classes work very well. The focus moves from fixed grade divisions, which don't always fit all students, to children's intellectual and social development on a continuing basis.

B) No, multi-age classes aren't a good idea. It's difficult enough to cover the curriculum of one grade, much less to teach an even wider range of material.

C) Multi-age classes could be a good thing, if managed well. Teachers, kids, and parents need to be adequately prepared if a school makes the switch.

D) I have no opinion on this issue.

Art Funding -- The arts are often the first to feel the squeeze when school budgets are tightened. Do you feel that the arts are vital, or expendable?

A) The arts are essential. School is about more than skills, it's about development. To produce well-rounded students, art, music, etc. must be a part of the curriculum.

B) The arts are nice when a school district can afford them. But the core classes -- math, science, english, history -- definitely come first.

C) The arts ought not to be left entirely out of school programs, but if there are budget cuts, it makes sense to cut back on art or music classes.

D) I have no opinion on this issue.

Banning Books -- Many school libraries have grappled with the issue of books containing "sensitive" material. How do you feel about removing controversial books from school libraries?

A) It is necessary to forbid the use of certain books in school. Children are impressionable, and it is the job of parents, teachers, and school officials to protect them.

B) Censorship is never appropriate. Students' freedom to explore books should never be curbed.

C) In some cases it might be acceptable. But this should only be done in the most extreme circumstances, and when the entire community has been involved in the decision.

D) I have no opinion on this issue.
