[Year 12 IPM] combined classes

I'm top posting here because otherwise people will complain that this is a 
bottom post.

Not everyone can deal with such diversity within a single classroom.  I know 
I couldn't and it cost me my position at my previous school.  I should add 
that I am in my third year of teaching and still inexperienced.  (I haven't 
been in one place long enough to apply for full registration - I'm chasing 
contracts.  Hence I might get out and become a techie.)

I think it is unreasonable to combine classes because it's effectively 
saying, "This school does not take your subject seriously".
