I wouldn't say "as John and I were."
I would perhaps say "the same class that John and I were in." I'd be more likely to say "the same class as John and me."

Hi Grammar Geek
Is "that" optional here or not?
Thank you in advance

I do think it's optional, but I would probably use it. (But I think that "as" there is wrong.)

I disagree. The grammatically correct form is "as John and I (were)" where "were", "were in", etc. are optional continuations. The answer "same class as John and me" is grammatically incorrect, though tolerated informally. It is similar to: "Who wants ice cream?" "I.", which is the correct answer and is short for the (optional) "I do". However, almost everyone will say "Me."; not only is the latte
