Rather than focus on the "weaker" students I strive to focus on the "stronger" students-- those with a history of experience or interest in the subject I am teaching.

Hello everyone!
I understand that team diversity is a necessary prerequisite for team success. At the same time nobody wants to be called out for being different, which is one reason why I like the methods I have read before of getting at a characteristic without asking that actual question. One example that comes to mind is asking if any students did not come from this state or any of its surrounding states in order to locate ESL students. My question is how would one do the same for identifying those students who have shown poor academic performance in general? I could just simply ask students to voluntarily choose a range in which their GPA falls, but I don't want any student to feel embarrassed. I'm not even sure it would be legal. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan
