[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No.  If the enrollment is down in 1 school, teachers are shifted to other places.   They don’t hire more people for the differences in teacher numbers at individual schools.  Thus, if enrollment is down, the number of classes goes down and [b]classes sizes go up.  [/quote][/b]

But only up to a point. There are caps, and they are significantly lower in APS than FFX, at least in ES. I think everyone would like a K of 17 or fewer, but that’s not a realistic expectation in a public school, unless you are willing to send your precious to a Title 1 school. [b]If students leave APS, but still reside in Arlington, it’s a PLUS for the system. The average student costs far more than their parents pay in taxes. Hope more leave[/b]! [/quote]

Pretty clear that is SB strategy. See 4th high school discussion.

We are done and moving to FCPS. We get a nicer house in McLean, commute 1 day a week, and schools value rigor over “ not stressing kids”. [/quote]
