Hi! I am not a teacher, just a parent of a child who will be in 1st grade next fall. We have to make a decision about whether to have her placed in a Multiage 1-2 classroom or a traditional 1st grade room. She's a really good student (was reading chapter books at age 5), but can be a bit of a control freak. I'm leaning towards the multiage -- I think it would be good for her to be a "little fish" for a while, but wonder if academically she may suffer a bit in 2nd grade? any thoughts?
Work my brains out Go check out the teachers. As a teacher myself, I've seen all kinds of teaching. Find out what kind of reputation the teachers have among reputable parents. It's the teacher that will make the difference, not necessarily whether the grade is single or multi.
