[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may think your name is clear but in this forum everyone is looking for a cohort to kick out bc 'crowding.' That's why the defensiveness on this from Bancroft, Shepherd, Lafayette and Ouster-Adams.

But you already knew that. [/quote]

Why is crowding in quotes? Do you have alternative facts?[/quote]

Class sizes below hte high school level are below 25 in every school. Many early grades with multiple teachers. Compare to Arlington or Montgomery where class sizes approach 30 in K or 1st, with 1 teacher.

Class size isn't the only metric of crowding. Adding more classrooms doesn't make the library bigger, or the gymnasium, or the lunchroom, or the playground. Crowding erodes the quality of every aspect of school life. It's cold comfort that there's only 25 kids in  the class when you have to eat lunch in 10-minute shifts.[/quote]

And kids all over the city don't have gyms or libraries or playgrounds. Fix that first. [/quote]
