[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes us hours every spring to figure out classes for the following year. [/quote] [b]You keep saying this but [/b]then what about all the new kids that show up over the summer? Do you just randomly throw them in wherever?[/quote] Teachers keep saying it because it’s true. If multiple teachers keep saying it, it’s true. Admin leave empty slots in certain classes. Students are fitted into whichever slots are available. My class from the very depths of hell had a new student who was a terrible, terrible mix with an existing student. Those two kids were never together again, but it didn’t help me. In an ideal world, we’d have the resources to fully test and interview the new student, contact their old school, and reshuffle classes as needed. In reality, the school has to go on whatever documentation the parents provide, or don’t. Private schools fully interview each student, so they can make adjustments if need be. [/quote]
