I'm just curios.

How are kids placed in different classes?  Do the teachers nominate them?
Is there a test?  Don't be afraid to ask a teacher, guidance counselor,

Also: sometimes, if parents get involved, they help direct the school
towards placing their child in one class rather than another.
Unfortunately, sometimes parents are wrong...
