[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I regularly sub in 4 different elementary schools. The difference between 26 in a class and 20 in a class is palpable. My kids are in HS now, but I wouldn't want them in the 26 student rooms. It's just too chaotic. [/quote] +1 I think also, APS teachers are accustomed to smaller classes so if they get stuck with larger ones that can cause problems as they adjust their plans to the larger class. My DS only had 26 one year -- 2nd grade and the class also was given an aide because it was "so big". Even with that, the next year his 3rd grade teacher said the class as a whole was not where she expected them to be based on her past experience with smaller classes. There were a number of things she needed to teach from the beginning because they didn't get covered and others that needed a more review because it may have been covered but not as thoroughly.
