It saddens me that Whitman PTA leaders support increasing class sizes for the youngest and lowest income students

I support decreasing class sizes for all students. The Einstein PTA leaders expressed a similar sentiment and empathy for other schools. But Whitman PTA seem happy to have decreased class sizes for their schools but increased class sizes for the highest need schools.

I expect educated wealthy people to at least try to look like they care about young kids from families with low incomes. I guess in the MAGA era there is no need to even pretend to care.

I read the letter and did not see it expressed that they are advocating for larger class sizes in our highest need schools. Rather, they seem to be advocating for lower class sizes across the board.

No, they specifically said they agree with the Superintendent's recommendation. That recommendation includes increasing class sizes for the youngest, poorest students. Certainly, just like Taylor they are pretending he is just decreasing class sizes, but if you believe they didn't notice who is getting increased class sizes then I have a bridge to sell you.

That's not how I read the letter at all. They specifically talk about the benefits of smaller classes overall. They did say that they would like the Whitman cluster to be considered for smaller classes, they don't mention other clusters at all.

And it's not the Whitman PTA (which is a high school) it is representatives of the Whitman Cluster and seems to be focused on the elementary schools in the cluster.

They said they support Taylor's recommendation, and like Taylor they are falsely stating it just decreases class sizes when in fact it increases class sizes for the very children that benefit the most from smaller class sizes.

They could have said they support reducing class sizes for the schools in their cluster. But they specifically said they support his overall class size recommendations.

As a Whitman alum I am pretty disgusted and appalled by this.

This has nothing to do with MAGA. But, why would you expect that?

He thinks about kids from low income families every morning on his elevator down to the kitchen.
