We got class assignment today. None of us know anything about the new teacher, so this is not a ton of information.
However, they send out the assignments as lists of ids under each teacher. We also have part of last year's assignment. So, using this
script, I was able to figure out that three other kids from the guy's class last year are in his class this year.
A more interesting broader finding is that they shuffle the classes pretty evenly. Every fourth grade class has about 4-6 students from each of the four third grade classes from last year. So, there's no mass migrations from one class to another, which I imagine helps with breaking up cliques and getting kids to know more people.
