[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also keep in mind these schools get a higher percentae of funding per student. Picture your child in a class of 12 as opposed to 28 (my DD K class) with more resource support as well. Yes there would no doubt be students in her class with some struggles but it also a huge difference in educational environment[/quote]

OK, but, it's not apples :: apples.

My sister teaches in a far east-county MoCo Title I elementary.  Each year she has 13-15 kids in her class.  Every single year, every. single. one. of these kids is a challenge who requires as much time investment as 2 kids in her previous MoCo school.   No kidding.

Either they don't eat properly, they don't sleep, they can't speak one word of English .... they just don't show up for weeks at a time because Mom took them back to "her country" .... they have weird bruises, fetal alcohol syndrome ... still not speaking a word of English .... you can't communicate with their parents about any of the above because they don't a phone/don't have email/don't come to school when you summon them by letter ...

anyway.   Twelve or 13 of these kids is more work than 28 kids in Wood Acres.  Just sayin'[/quote]
