There are a few things that I have learned and experienced in the classroom first would be the teacher's attitude.  What I mean by that is if they are not involved enough or make learning fun, interesting the majority of students will no longer be interested in class then their grades start to fall.

The second would be that the technology today catches students eyes and interest.  One just think no more heavy bag or book that most kids fall asleep or lose interest in.  Most schools have used technology such as computers or iphones and used communication via email, text or video chat.  Some students are doing a impeccable increase in learning and grades.  Some using learning software instead of the old fashion chalkboard.

The third would be that of digital divides and gaps.  There are those student's who can not afford learning materials upfront so offer a payment plan or rental option so the student can succeed in his or her path to education and then their mind is at ease an ready to learn.
