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.
Quoting myself for context. It seems DS was placed in the straight 5th grade classroom. The teacher? Since 2007 she has been a part-time Title I remedial reading specialist. Last year she tacked on a half-day of Kindergarten, as well.
I'm so sad.
