Cunning’s classroom has everything the kids would ever need to learn and explore my experience.

This gives intrinsic and extrinsic learners the opportunity to learn, explore and manipulate objects to stimulate their knowledge (Lee, McInerney, Liem, & Ortiga, 2010).

As you can perceive, unlike Campus, with smaller class sizes Haysville High gives each and every student an opportunity to have one on one time with their teachers. To put it differently, Campus High is overpopulated, and the school seemed “crammed.” For instance, there are countless classrooms at Campus that are so full; they do not even have enough desks for the students.
