dd came home today with the news that they are mixing up year 4 and 5 to make 2 x year 4/5 mix classes
I used to teach, I don't like mixed year classes and I am cross.
dd is very bright, top of her class (year 5 next year) But she is a quiet not pushy girl, and tends to get lost in the crowd.
What do you think of mixed classes, would you be happy? Am I worrying for nothing? School's line is that a good teacher teaches every child where they are and so the split in level doesn't make any difference. Ture in theory, but in practice?
