Is everyone aware that some of our schools are combining 1st and 2nd grade classes together? My 2nd grade son is in one of these "combo" classes taught by one teacher with 2 years experience with 2nd graders. The teacher and principal "assure" that both grades will get even treatment--RIGHT! How can one teacher with rotating assistants teach a full lesson each day to 2 grades??? There's not enough room for the inconsistent remarks and misstruths we were told on why this is. Did I mention misspellings in the classroom? Thanks Purdue!
