[quote=Anonymous]Frankly OP, 20 is low for DCPS Kindergarten. An average or good K teacher would be able to handle 20 if there are no special circumstances going on. Ideally K would have an aide, but sometimes they have trouble hiring enough aides, or paying for them. A class size of 20 kids in K is very unlikely to be on your principal's list of top 10 problems. It may be that your teacher is not skilled at classroom control. Or if you have a kid who needs an IEP and doesn't have one yet-- it takes a little while to get that going, and K usually has some kids who haven't been in a school environment before or haven't had any special needs addressed yet. If you feel the classroom environment is not what it should be, bring it up with your teacher and assistant principal. There is a recommended class size in the WTU contract, but there's also a long list of permissible exceptions.[/quote]
