[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smaller class sizes -- at the very least in elementary school. The default mood of so many teachers and administrators is pure exasperation because there are just too many kids to rein in a classroom, in a grade, in a school. I think small children feed off that kind of noise and chaos and relentless adult negativity and subsequently up the ante attention/behavior-wise when they otherwise might not in a different context. Return the freaking Chromebooks and hire more teachers and build more schools.[/quote] The freaking Chromebooks cost $15 million, as a one-time expenditure, and part of that was federal money for technology in the schools. You can't build even one new school for $15 million. And more teachers would cost however much they cost, year after year after year. http://www.wjla.com/articles/2014/07/montgomery-co-public-schools-to-spend-15m-on-40k-laptops-tablets-105128.html[/quote]
