Two Teachers, but no Co-Teaching?

The 11th and 12th grades will have two teachers. One for "learning English," and the other in a large double-lesson, for doing "unseens," reading comprehension.

We officially had it this year, but my weak students hated it. They never showed up. To improve matters, I've suggested that they get separate grades for the 2/5 hours. I also told the teacher who is getting these sessions that he must have help. Anarchy isn't conducive to learning.

We also have to choose textbooks with tapes of the reading for all the kids who have the right to listen to their texts.

logistics, logistics, logistics!

How does this work? All the grade together (3, 4, 5 pointers)? With one teacher? Please give more details.

It saves the school money, but it didn't work with only one teacher.
