  15. I found the posts referring to combined elementary classes to be very
  16. interesting, especially since I've learned a cousin of mine is teaching a
  17. combined 1st/2nd grade class in Ohio.
  18.  
  19. What's interesting is that in the New England area, I've never heard of these
  20. types of arrangements, except in "honor" types of classes. ( I took a honors
  21. English class in grammer school myself. )  I noticed some of the posts came from
  22. the Mid-West, and wondered if these combined classes are common there, or is the
  23. Northeast unique in lacking them?
  24.  
  25. Just curious...
