[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 585733, member: 1550"] There are schools that are so small the entire school is in ONE classroom? Wow. I thought Jumper goes to a small school since only 39 kids will graduate with her as a senior. I don't know that I'd like a class with all different ages in one room. That means they are teaching a lot of grades to different kids. Also, I personally think it's good for kids to hang around with kids in their own developmental range rather than older (I smell trouble) or too young (your child can cause the trouble). Not t hat Jumper has no friends from other grades from her...she does. But she is mostly with her same age peers and I like it better that way. I think it would be hard for a difficult child to adjust to so many different lessons going on in one class. Not all small schools are cliquey. At Jumper's school there are no kids with no friends at all. They all grew up together. And Jumper is the one who is different, since she is bi-racial, but she's one of t he most popular kids in the entire school.Kids of all backgrounds hang around together. It is a lot more racist and rough in our bigger school (2000 kids). And the fighting and drama is worse there. Interesting discussion. Guess all places are different. Much more bullying at the big school because they can. It's too big for all the teachers to be on top of the kids and what t hey are doing so even if you try to make new friends, when your old ones are bullying you, they tend to follow you around when nobody's looking. All in all, I like small, but not just one classroom for all kids. My unecessary .02!!!! :) [/QUOTE]
