[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that we’re into this school year, what do we think the implications will be both for the class of 2033 and 2034? With news of how enrollment dropped on MCPS I’m expecting them to have to lay off kindergarten teachers only to have huge influx next year. If that’s the case we could be looking at class sizes of nearly 30 kids in kindergarten next year. That’s insane!

At a national level we’ll see much more completion for college. I’m really nervous for my current PreK kid (November birthday)[/quote]

I actually don’t think it will make a significant difference. I think there was a bit more redshirting this year - maybe enough to put one extra kid in a K class next year - but it seems like there was more withdrawing to homeschool K, or sending to private in person K, or spending another year in day care then sending to 1st next year. I only know of one family who was going to send the September birthday kid to K (we are in VA where the cutoff is 9/30) but decided to redshirt. But I know a bunch of people who have come up with alternative arrangements for K but are still planning on public 1st next year if schools are back to normal. [/quote]
