I’m not a big fan of segregating Bible study classes according to ages (was that direct enough for you?). Up to a point, I think they are somewhat acceptable (say, up to the pre-teen years, perhaps), as those who are being taught in those classes are benefiting typically from an adult or team of adults [...]
