mixed age classes?
I read somewhere that schools in oz put children into classes according to ability rather than age,so the theory is you could have a 7yr old in class of 9 yr olds is this correct? if so when brit kids arrive is there any testing etc to establish thier ability?

Re: mixed age classes?
In the school my kids go to its not encouraged to go out of grade. However if a child is struggling they will hold them back in year 5.
I know of someones who has had a real battle to get her kid moved up a year because he was bored here. She's suceeded and hes doing ok though.
However this maynot be the same in all schools and in all states!
