  Case: A dividing line
In a high school gen ed class there are a variety of students from different backgrounds and races. The students sit in clusters of friends that they feel most 'comfortable'. These groups very clearly distinguish the differences between the student, but no one seems to have a problem. As a teacher how could you mix up the classroom setting to allow students to not be divided by differences?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Introduce a class activity that allows students to see their similarities with others in the room. Then, possibly use these similarities to group students for class activities.

Comments: that's good idea. People could become friends. They don't realize how much they have in common with people.
