[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So there's really no significant requirement at all, is there?  I see the college degree preferred language, but it's essentially anyone the school chooses to hire, right?[/b]  What kind of person usually fills that role at your child's school?

Getting back to the original question of how many teachers for a class of 17-18, 22-23, or 25-29 (since it seems all flavors are out there), it seems the short answer is "one teacher" even if there might be some limited supplemental help.  Right?[/quote]
Yes, much like hiring at private schools. I have not asked the paraeducators at my children's school about their educational qualifications for the job.

But yes, if you want a class size of 15 with two teachers, you are unlikely to find that in MCPS.[/quote]
It seems like you're getting defensive, and maybe you think I want to make this a public vs private debate.  I don't.  I'm just asking questions about your experience, so I can understand what happens in MCPS schools.  I had thought when you first mentioned the paraeducators that they're essentially almost-teachers with lots of meaningful contact with the students.  Now I understand they're not.  Let's not make this adversarial, OK?[/quote]
