  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!)
I would count off the students from 1-6 and depending on their number sit in those clusters. That way they have a better chance of sitting next to someone that makes them feel comfortable and it seems like chance instead of intention.
