Mulit-age classrooms can be good for many kids for a variety of reasons, but this is not it.
I agree, multi-age classrooms can be great, but when they are great each child's curriculum is differentiated. They are not all required to do the same work. Unfortunately, this style of multi-age classroom just sets the younger students up for failure or at least unrealistic expectations. It's very frustrating, especially for parents of gifted children because our little ones usually ARE the youngest in the class.
