Dd1 is in a k/1 composite, she's in the year 1 part.
(My background is teaching)
So.. Given the children she has been placed with from year 1 (all but 3 have severe learning difficulties), and that the kindy kids who are joining the class are all boys who have issues (according to the teacher), I'm worried about dd1 learning.
Last year she constantly scored high in everything, reports were great, shes a fast learner, but reserved socially, but she has a great friend base.
There are 3 kids in her class from las year, two of which bullied her at the end of last year, and one who just didn't like her.
I know they say that composite classes aren't graded, but they are because they have to know that the children in those classes are able to handle it, etc.
I'm not happy with her being in this class, I'm pretty annoyed that she has been placed in this class, I'm worried that her learning will suffer.
What do you all think? Can anyone put my mind at ease? Should I talk to the school (and be one of the how ever many parents whinge at the school)? Or deal with it?
Fwiw, dd1 has always been pretty talkative and happy at school, today she didn't have much to say, that very unlike her.
