Glad to know this isn't that uncommon these days. I spent most of my elementary years in combo classes, but I'd never seen it here.
It hadn't occurred to me that the class might be unevenly split. I know a couple of the other 1st graders, and know that they were near or at the top in reading and math. I suspect at least some of the 1st graders were hand-picked for this class.
DD is excited about being in the combo class. She was not challenged in kindergarten, and I knew 1st grade had the potential to be not much better.
So, another question. DD knows a couple of the second graders in her new class, too, and I am friends with their parents. I feel awkward...any advice?
