[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes our school had this in the first grade. MCPS response - doesn't matter kids are already testing above grade level before the start day one so there can be no adverse effect. MCPS central office also claimed that the "cap" is a guideline and not a hard cut off so for some schools they go over. It gets worse because staffing increases don't happen during the year - or so they said. So when new kids joined the class size became even bigger. [/quote]

same here at our whitman pyramid ES. plus K was 28, but "that's OK for you guys since your pARCC and MAPs are so good at showing proficiency."

Personally I think K-3 class sizes should all have aides in order to get each kid on the right start and track. 
grades 4-12 class size and overcrowding issues do not make my Top 10 list.  Technology overuse, Poor curriculum, Behavior issues in classrooms, and Lack of breadth of subject matter does. How is my kid supposed to learn science or history is even a basic subject when it's  only trickled in during reading modules. And don't get started on 30 min or barely any PE units in K-5 and BOOM, 6th grade go change in the locker room 3-4 times a week and pretend to play v-ball. Half the kids who are in outside sports FREAK OUT and get silly doctor notes they are now scared of gym class!  Does not bode well for America. [/quote]
