I was all on your side when I read your title before reading your post... but not now. What do you expect when you miss an entire year's worth of language practice?!

+1.

It’s not about sides, but your child will certainly have a more difficult time catching up.

OTOH, combining 3 different Spanish levels does it seem like it will be a good learning environment for anyone! The AP will be bored with the 4 and will constantly be lost. IF the teacher isn’t amazingly skilled at teaching and managing their own expectations.[/quote]

Teaching combined levels means the teacher works separately with each group for the concepts that are different, and does review for basic concepts with the entire class. There are ways to do it, and usually with two levels in the same room, it's fine. But 3 levels... the school is pushing it, and the teacher is probably stressed out.

The point is, though - the school wouldn't have done that if they could find an extra teacher! So this isn't likely to get fixed this year. OP and kid have to deal with the consequences of their poor judgment, they have no control over the hiring of a new teacher.
