[quote=Anonymous]I have wondered in the past if some schools do this. We moved here after GT screening for one of my kids. He was assigned to the pullout program a few weeks after we arrived. His school had six grade level classes which were set up in three groups of two for team teaching. This might have been by chance, but for fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, well over half of the kids in the GT pullout were placed in one of the teams. In addition, pretty much the  same kids were kept together for all those years. 
I realize you're asking about the earlier grades, but other parents told me that many of these kids started being put together in second grade, so it appeared that they were trying to focus on kids' needs early. This school didn't have GT and people in the neighborhood said they liked to keep the kids at the school, so maybe placing the kids together was an effort to make it worthwhile to the parents to keep them there. We were new, so I didn't know much about the background or the GT  program at that time (they changed the name to AAP shortly after this).
