Pros and Cons of mixed-age classes

Just a friendly reminder before today’s prompt.

Spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, complete sentences all count!  Many of you are throwing a lot of points away.  Also – if I give you a series of questions to answer – answer them!  Again – points you are throwing away.

Please – if you copy and paste my prompt into your blog – please stop.  It takes me a lot longer to grade when I have to hunt for your answers.  If you need to – paste my info in and then delete before your publish your post.

Complete sentences – please – don’t copy and paste my questions and then give me one word answers.  Write a series of sentences and or paragraphs.

Something else to consider – Plagiarism….. Don’t do it!  There were several of you that repeatedly plagiarized the work of others in your blog posts during the first quarter.  Consider this your warning.

Many of you are in at least one class that has mixed-ages of students.  In other words, kids from grades other than yours.  So – what are the good and bad things about having students of a variety of grade levels and abilities in your classes?  What do you like about it?  What drives you crazy about it? Do you think all classes should be mixed?  Or, should they all be single-aged?  Why? Give me an example of a class you are in with mixed ages.  How is it going?  Do the other aged students make you crazy? How do you think your teachers feel about mixed age classes?  Is their a difference in your opinion when it comes to teams vs classes?

Your post is due Monday, October 28, 2019 at 8:15 a.m.
