In math it is already extreme. Reading and writing so far have no different levels, each class is at its own level. For the children it is good, for the teachers extra work. With our current teacher it works simply. She really is a dream. Warm, consistent, committed. Keeps an eye on every child and has the parents under control. Hopefully the principal doesn't drive her away again. The teacher would still like to stay “for now.” The school board has to decide. Although we are a village school, we are not so small that the classes have to be taught mixed-age. About 20 years ago the community reduced from 8 elementary school sites to 2. There are currently about 350 elementary school children spread over 2 locations.Sounds to me like a plan to finally wear out the teachers. That might work in a village school with 10 children in the whole school, but with today's usual class sizes it can't. With more than 20 children a teacher can hardly do justice to everyone in a grade level.
