Starting the next academic year after half term

[spudmasher]

How would you feel if your child went to their new teacher after the Whitsun half term?
Just after some opinions on this. It is not a new strategy in Secondary schools, but how would you feel about Primary?
Anyone got any experience of this?

The reason they can do it in secondary school is because Y11 and Y13 have left.

Primary schools still have Y6, so how could they do it?

I'd rather they had the same teacher 2 years in a row. Stop wasting the first half term getting to know the kids, and the last half term winding down.....

All through school......3 to 16...
What would you feel?

I'd be happy - if they had their new teacher.

Wouldn't you have some new teachers not starting till Sep?
