To deny (or even delay) access to suit research faces serious ethical barriers,since it denies students and parents their preferences, and could impose serious damage to theirscholastic progress and even later academic and workplace opportunities. In a somewhat similarmanner, teachers opt to participate in or avoid engineering instruction and manipulating thisselection for research purposes faces serious professional and ethic issues. With limited ability inpublic schools to assign teachers to their classes, there is a need to document inherent differencesthat may exist among teachers and to interpret the impact of training and teaching experiences
