SBO considers a school with multiple independent classrooms and multiple teachers with inter-classroom collaboration where teachers are reassigned to classrooms based on their fitness.
In addition, since the SBO algorithm uses multiple independent classrooms with interchanging teachers, the algorithm is less likely to be influenced by local optima.
The author argued that teachers were required to go into independent classrooms each day and spend many hours alone with students, hardly a satisfying set of social partners.
We hypothesized that undergraduates would perceive differences between GTAs and professors that were independent of classroom variables and found evidence that supported this hypothesis.

At both the secondary and college levels, many schools provide funding to help students produce a newspaper that's independent of the classroom setting.
The two metrics were evaluated in three independent studies: a classroom-based evaluation with two groups of students, a qualitative feedback from three industry projects, and a quantitative evaluation using 61 industry projects.
