Explanation
★The main assumption of team teaching is that the best teachers can be shared by more students, so that is the answer.
★In team teaching several teachers pool their strengths to teach a larger group together.
★So the special skill of an able teacher reaches many more learners than one classroom would allow.
★It does not assume that teachers feel bored working alone, which is an emotional and irrelevant claim.
★It does not assume that teachers are incompetent; rather it uses their competence more widely.
★It does not rest on an inability to control the class, so the true assumption is the wider sharing of the best teachers.
