Quote Ana Loureiro

I have evening classes - 10th graders - and their age range goes from 21 to 39 all in the same class, with different proficiency levels.

Do you mean classes with 21-39 students in each class? If not, those are the oldest 10th graders i have ever heard of.

Are there behavior issues that you need help with or just the fact that they have different interests and levels?

Greetings!
Portugal has an extremely high number of school drop-outs, and people with low or even none school qualificatins. So as to invert this our ministry decided to open evening courses which are almost like the day courses.
As I referred they are 10th graders. Students enroll and have the chance to conclude their secondary education by attending a 3 year course (10th until 12th grade). These kind courses started only last year and I didn't have any problem then because my students had a similar age range. But this year, the students who enrolled in the 10th grade belong to all kind of age and this is why is becomes tricky... Different age, different expectation, different proficiency etc.
