| Abstract: | This introduction develops the rationale for the special issue Groups in Education. The most serious deficits in the current or traditional educational system in the United States are cited. Radical changes in the system are called for, and two examples of such radically different systems are included in this issue to illustrate the types of changes that would be necessary to make significant improvement in student achievement and behavior. The other articles are representative of group interventions that have been applied successfully to treat the variety of problems that students have, some of which are produced by the system itself.
