[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I taught we did class assignments at the end of the school year and then the principal added new kids during the summer.  We met as a gradelevel team and also met with the teachers a grade ahead to discuss. Here were the factors discussed:

1.) Teacher style. Very structured and strict teachers are amazing for some kids and can be a bad match for others. Some teachers are really good at accommodating certain needs and not others so that is a factor too.

2.) Break up friends who either get cliquey and mean together or who get into trouble together constantly. You want kids to always be open to making new friends. It's fine to keep friends together as long as they are open to new people and aren't trouble together.

3.) Ideally you want the number of boys and girls to be in the same general ballpark and it's nice to have a mix of backgrounds.

4.) Keep kids apart where there's bad blood-e.g. one bullied the other or there was a nasty mean girl episode.[/quote]

The friend thing is what is confusing to us.  There was a group of three really well-behaved girls in class together last year and 2 of them stayed together while the other was put into a class with no girls she had ever been in class with before.  That seems weird.[/quote]
