I am very nervous for DS10. I still haven't recovered from his 4th grade experience. Not sure how he is feeling; I'm afraid to ask.

I am hoping, sort of, that he gets placed in the blended 5/6 classroom, so he can "eavesdrop" on the 6th grade lessons and perhaps actually learn something, and get to know the older kids; but then again, he is not much of an independent worker and may catch plenty of trouble for his distractability.

Sigh.
