I feel as a former kindergarten teacher from an elementary school where multi-age classrooms were used, it was comforting placing my students in these classrooms. For my high functioning students, putting them into a multi-age classroom challenged their thinking and allowed them to thrive. Also the low functioning students placed in these classrooms were given support and guidance from students that are more advanced. Do do agree with some of the above posting about the effects of having children at various ages.
