[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The staffing formula for classroom teachers is the problem, especially 1-6. They just give principals a number of teachers based off total from 1-6. The principal then gets to decide how to allocate. That is why you can gave grades with classes 28-31 and others with 18-22. The staffing formula should be by grade level. Example- if 5th grade has 85 kids they could have three classes of 28-29 kids or 4 classes of about 21-22. The needs per grade level vary too. Some years we gave gad a ton of sped/esol in a grade and the next year a smaller amount. [/quote]

There's also the AAP component. In our school, the AAP class has 18-20 kids and the regular classes have almost 30 kids. It's incredibly unfair and I wish they'd get rid of LLIV and go back to having only centers. LLIV is a waste.[/quote]

This too. And AAP parents will be like “oh my kid scored this on this assessment” - yeah, more kids could do that if they weren’t in a class with 29 kids, 15 of whom have an IEP. Class size matters tremendously yet the advanced classes are small and Gen Ed are big. [/quote]
