Kieran, if you're going to have about 10 or 11 kids in your class, don't worry about different skill levels. A classroom in the country with just 10,11,12 kids per class - your class will be a community and stress that as a pleasant theme. You are all on a journey together - use that word too. Tell them they all...See More
