It was done in a school that I worked in a few years ago and it was a disaster. The children get so confused and are disciplined for forgetting where to go and what to bring. Also, classroom teachers do not see how their students are doing or if they are making connections in their learning. I strongly oppose it.

Some of the teachers want to seen six year olds from room to room (switch classes) for reading and math. I'm opposed because I believe strongly in self-contained classroom for first grade. Instead of just doing it because it might be easier I can't get anyone to tell me what research supports or does not support this for first grade. HELP!!!!
