<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Far too big for a combined class. Unfair to you and to the
students. There is still time to combine them all into one year
12 IP&M class. The year 11 students should be able to cope ok. There is
no prerequisite for IP&M. So go for that - or if the school insists on
running both the year 11 and year 12 courses then say the advice you have
received from other IT teachers, and experienced ones at that, is that they
should be two separate classes.</FONT></DIV>
