Common questions
What should a class balance checklist include?
Start with class size, gender balance, support needs, friendship requests, separation rules, teacher workload, and any required placements.
Is the checklist enough to create class lists?
It helps with review, not generation. Use it after your draft lists exist or after Shibutz generates a placement.
