What are the benefits to a primary school child of having 2 part-time teachers instead of 1 full-time teacher?

Question

This is becoming common in Australia. And whilst it's convenient for teachers who want to work a couple of days a week, I'm not sure of the benefits to the child/class. Could any teachers/parents please give me your views on this?

Answer 1

It sounds like a wonderful idea as long as the two teachers style of teaching as the same, because younger children need structure everyday and if the teachers have different teaching styles then the child might have problems learning.
