In 1962, I was placed into an experimental scheme in Toronto that was
intended to compress kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 into two years.
In 1964, we moved semi-rural BC over the summer.

In my new Grade 2, I was placed into the lower (of two) reading group.
Three weeks later, the teacher swapped textbooks on me, and told me to
read the first x pages of this other book over the weekend.  Some time
after that I was switched to a "split class" that was one third Grade
2 and 2/3 Grade 3.  Split classes were a fairly common feature at that
school.  People in the lower split got an early intro to the more
advanced stuff, and the people in the upper split got a review of the
stuff they should already have mastered.  I was in the lower split the
rest of the way through elementary school.
