[quote=Anonymous]My kid was in a team-taught English class in 8th grade. It was Honors-level, and there were Special Ed kids in the class.

I initially did not know what to think, but it ended up being a real blessing as one of the teachers had medical leave for nearly half the school year. I was thankful the class was still able to continue. They did bring in a long-term sub, but there was no hiccup in the lesson plan. The teacher ended up coming back for the last month of school.

FWIW, it was a very prescribed curriculum. They read 4 pre-selected books (whereas other classes had a selection of books 4 times) and did not do a lot of writing (the other classes did a ton of writing, and it turned out to be less writing than 7th grade). At the end of year, we determined that my kid was selected because they were identified as someone who would not bully and would be kind to every student in the class (this was characteristic of other students in her class). While I'm glad for that from a character perspective, I think the rigor was not there compared to other Honors classes.[/quote]
