Dottie - our school did that. DS had 2 other boys in his class in the highest reading group with him. Teacher said she'd talk to Principle about keeping them together but nope, not even kept 2 of them together (Teacher had recommended b/c of DS6's issue w/ going to school, to keep him w/ one of his buddies in the high reading group - NOPE - they all got split up.) It was the same for DS9 entering K. They test the kids prior to K and knew that DS was reading fluently. Well, were there any other readers in his class? Nope. FOr his reading group, Teacher finally got a group together w/ 2 other boys, each in a different class, and from what DS said, lower than his reading level, but b/c the classes aren't taught similarly, it was hard to get teh boys together b/c one class would be at math time while the other was at reading time or recess etc.
