[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Purely personal opinion here. Terrible. Mixed-grade classrooms simply don’t work. Teachers who throw pencils because of inability to control classroom. Completely off “alternative” curriculum. We just couldn’t stand it (although some people swear by it). Do a thorough word search for Burgundy on this board. [/quote] Re pencil-throwing: I have seen posts claiming this on every Burgundy thread. One parent told me, once, that an exasperated teacher threw a pencil in the general direction of the kids. This was a decade ago. Not commenting on the appropriateness or lack thereof of pencil thrown in exasperation- but, um, this was one teacher, once. I think it is safe to say there is not an epidemic of pencil-throwing teachers at Burgundy. Some uneven-ness between teachers, to be sure, as is true everywhere: my kids had some fabulous teachers and some just okay teachers. We never saw any problems with the mixed grade classrooms, however.[/quote]
