[quote=Anonymous]It's the principal's job to complain that the staffing formula set by administration doesn't work therefore they should get a new teacher? Perhaps it's their job to complain that things aren't working well, but wouldn't it just be better to have a staffing formula that actually worked for the rooms our schools have and the teachers who will be teaching the children? Why put this burden on the principals to use up money and time complaining to admin? There really isn't a lot a principal can do with a 26.25 ratio when say one grade averages out to 22 children a class and she has to maintain a 26.25 ratio for the entire school and she doesn't meet enough children for another teacher. The number is too large to have a combination class so that grade stays as is and all the other grades get much larger and have classes over 30 or all close to 30. They are already large to start with at this 26.25 ratio if you include special needs students on top of this and children coming in through the year.[/quote]
