Assertion #3:

Results in any classroom are generated in the interactions, around specific content, among students, the subject matter, and the teacher.

 I think this is very true because any result in a classroom depends on how the teacher delivers the curriculum to the students, whether they understand it or not. If a teacher teaches a fun lesson with activities about a certain subject most students will remember the information because of the way it was taught and delivered from teacher to student.
