[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kind of makes me sad to think that well behaved kids are just going to be in classes where they get ignored. I know they use those kids to balance out classes instead of just making a whole class of those kids where they can come out of their shells more. [/quote]

I can speak for the school where I work that used to do this, and it has nothing to do with ignoring well behaved kids. It’s about balancing the number of kids who need special ed, ESOL, and have never been to preschool. All those kids need extra attention to know what is going on, so it’s harder if they’re all in one class.[/quote]

Wouldn't special needs and ESOL kids get MORE help if they were all in one class? Versus split amongst 4 classes. The teacher could teach on a remedial level instead.[/quote]

Not all those kids need remedial classes so it fails the kids who need extra support but academically on target or ahead.  Mine got zero help and the iep was a joke.  The class was dumbed down and we had to work with our child at home on top of private therapies. Also the kids with behavioral problems picked on my kid who hated going to school.  [/quote]
