I requested a particular grade 7 teacher for my son Ms. O., explaining that he needed a no nonsense teacher. I was happy when he was placed in Ms. O.'s classroom. I found out today they decide to do 3 6/7 split classes. The teachers will sharing all three classes. meaning Ms. O. will teach Science. Mrs. M. will teach Social studies. They will be breaking into groups in different rooms for L.A. and Math. So he will be getting the teacher I wanted to avoid for 3 of his main courses. My son earned Outstanding student of the year in Grade 5. His grades went down to 28% in S.S and 18% in Math having Mrs. M. for Grade 6. The way they changed things, it doesn't matter which class I put him in he will still have Mrs. M.
