[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, if you have two excellent teachers and 50 kids (plus 2 aides), why aren't you better off with two classes of 25 (each with an excellent teacher and an aide) and a desk for every kid?  The large class/inadequate facilities clearly aren't the price you have to pay for an excellent teacher on this scenario.

Or are things so bad at Lafayette that you'll put up with anything to have access to one of the few excellent teachers?  Because that's what it sounds like...[/quote]

I've already stated the benefit is their working model of differentiating instruction.  See the second example here of how these two teachers operate: [url]http://www.equityallianceatasu.org/blog/equity-alliance/2010/04/19/ins-and-outs-co-teaching-wendy-murawski[/url]
It's a union they created on their own; they've already been team teaching.  Anyone who invokes the maternity leave should be cited with harassment.  Period.

To the pp I quote: just be happy with the school you chose, it's okay to be without bashing other entire schools.  [/quote]

Cited with harassment by the DCUM etiquette police??  Don't think so.  I was simply stating how some parents probably requested a certain teacher because they didn't want a sub.  I am not in that class so I don't know for sure nor did I make the request.  Do you even know what harassment is??

I wonder why when NYC instituted this, they maxed the increase of class size to 25% increase (20 max class can now have 25 students).  http://www.uft.org/teaching/integrated-co-teaching-collaborative-team-teaching-ctt

GA class size limit must stay the same whether co-taught or not http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/DMGetDocument.aspx/Frequently_Asked_Questions_Regarding_LRE.pdf?p=6CC6799F8C1371F6A4793945CC17E723333AA630EAB1186A8B437735B37FC12C&Type=D

FL state constitution does not allow for class size to be increased with co-teaching and implements 18 max students for third graders

There is a reason for class size limits...and it's not just student/teacher ratio.

Anyone that tries to rationalize this method (without proper accommodations) is simply in denial.  Sorry.
