Better still, if you are divided up into groups, arrange to get separated. In a new, stressful situation, it's natural to turn for guidance to someone you trust. In the class context, that someone must be the instructor. This is especially true for parents taking classes with children. In my courses, the only times spouses or parent/child pairs are together is if they paddle tandem, and sometimes we separate them even then. As a side benefit, on the way home you can compare and contrast teaching styles of the instructors each of you had in your group.
