Richard DuFour's article "Which Students Warrant Our Attention" interested me because of course it would seem that the question shouldn't have to be asked. But apparently there are administrators and teachers that are willing to sacrifice some students in order to do better on tests. That would be like doctors trying to save on the patients that had the highest probability of surviving. I like Richard's answer that "the school must focus on each and every student who demonstrates he or she is not learning." However, as he point out that might involve re-scheduling and extra effort on the students part.
