[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The former principal explained to parents that part of the reason for the 4 large classes vs. 5 smaller is that in 4th and 5th grades they go to 4 core subjects and rotate throughout the day. It was easier for them to get used to being in 4 classes now rather than next year. [/quote] You can rotate with 5 classes too. Murch does.[/quote] I am sure that works well for Murch and families are free to choose that model by choosing Murch. A lot of families have chosen the Janney model and like it, who are you to say this is not a valid choice when you do not know the details?[/quote] I think you missed the point. If the class is too big for only 4 sections, you can do "the Janney model" with 5 sections. It's just about the logistics of the rotation. Just saying you don't have to accept classes with 32 kids in order to rotate to 4 core subjects.[/quote]
