[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why anyone would be up in arms about their child going to Glebe. As far as we are concerned it is a hidden gem and [b]has typically smaller classes[u] 18[/u] last year in k and [u]20[/u] this year in First.[/b] Teachers are great and energetic and the building is brand new.  It got the 2011 board of education excellence award. So what if all the kids are not white.[/quote]

call me jealous but i'm so annoyed some schools are 'typically smaller' while others are typically maxed out at 23. like i posted in another thread i don't know if/how this can be done but it's time to stop this 'one over max # then you need a new class' nonsense! worst way to flush tax dollars down the toilet for ONE kid. i say no new school should be built until every classroom is filled.[/quote]

[b]So what should the limit be? Don't add another class until there are 30 kids in a class? 35?[/b]

And have you looked at the charts on the ACPS website? [b]The classrooms are filled at the NArl schools. Beyond filled.[/b] Besides, I don't think people are talking about building new schools as much as they are about repurposing existing space, which in the case of Reed was designed to be switched and in the case of Madison used to be school space.[/quote]

don't change the limit, 23 is fine, but move that one kid to another school that has space.

no those NArl schools classrooms are NOT beyond filled. many have classes less than 23 kids, including Glebe which is a N Arl school.
