[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our classes at Burgundy, the students were kind to each other. Given how small the classes are, I think the social atmosphere can vary significantly year by year. [/quote]

+1 But FYI, starting next year , [b]they are truly mixing the 2/3 and 4/5 classes (not just in social studies like in years past) so class size will feel bigger [/b]even though there are two teachers. But yes, bullying and bad behavior is class to class dependent just like at any other school.[/quote]

Who makes these decisions? This is just a HORRIBLE idea. They should get rid of the mixed grade classrooms altogether, not integrate them more! It is the multiple two year cycles with the same class that leads to so many social issues. Reshuffle the kids into new classes each year and keep them with kids in their own grade. Is it a cost saving measure? It doesn’t work and consistently, the four years in the 2/3 and 4/5 classroom are the weakest and most problematic at the school. Now that the middle school is thriving with the new head, the mixed age classrooms are the weak link at Burgundy. [/quote]
