[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not completely luck of the draw.  Title 1 get small classes.  Our school--Wolftrap--has 3 first grades of 30, 30, and 31.  If all of the kids were well behaved, it might be just ok.  But so many have behavioral issues (either legitimate issues requiring additional resources and not limited to behavior, or just naughty undisciplined kids).  The children who require assistance don't really frustrate me.  The naughty kids are just out of control and the school doesn't do anything.  These are not little kids anymore and should be able to line up and sit still but they are out of control and rude and disrepectful. Often, the "punishment" is sitting in another room.  Wah?  And when a naughty kid does something, they drag both the bully and the victim to the principal to talk about it.  And that is kind of it.  Bully isn't phased and it kind of traumatizes the victim even more so to me it is a total fail.  Such a crushing disappointment of a school.  So with big classes, I think it is hard but big classes with naughty kids is just horrible.  Learning is impacted, recess is less than 20 minutes because the kids cannot line up, they are rude and by older grades it turns to bullying.  If Forrestville is like Wolftrap, run away to private.  At Wolftrap, classes get smaller in second grade because they have 4 teachers but the horribly behaved kids won't go away so it will still be hard to have a productive classroom. [/quote]

Omg so insightful, thank you! And so upsetting. [/quote]
