This particular teacher prefers 5th. She taught 5-6 when our two
younger kids were in her class. She has two children, and decided to
switch to teaching 2nd grade when her oldest was born. It's hard to get
a good night's sleep with a little one, and they can be very demanding.
With 2nd grade, she figured there would be fewer papers to grade and
less prep. She hated it! One year and she switched back.
