[quote=Anonymous]Hi DC Urban Mom Community, I’m concerned about the increasing class size at Brent Elementary, a DCPS school in Capitol Hill. In years past, class sizes have been 20-21 for the elementary grades, but this year they are MUCH larger. Many classes have 24-26 students, with some as large as 28. I’m concerned because many of these new students have been admitted through the lottery (students who don’t live in-bounds) - making these class size increases purposeful decisions of the current Principal/administration. I also recently learned that the Washington Teachers Union limits class size to 20 students - which means teachers at Brent are feeling pressured they might not face at other schools - which could lead to teachers leaving. Any ideas on how to address this problem of larger class sizes/and possible increased future teacher turnover? Thanks![/quote]
