[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While this sucks for the teachers involved (I've been on the receiving end of a hodge podge of classes right before school starts), I think rebalancing is the best thing for the system and for the students. If one school is short 10 teachers and has 35+ classes, while another school has classes at 25, that would not be good for students.[/quote]

Agreed.[/quote]

All this does is create large class sizes at every school. This creates another problem and is a disservice to the students, tax payers, and the teachers. [/quote]

I agree but I don’t know if there another solution this close to the beginning of the school year. If they don’t do some reshuffling then there would be classes with no teachers, most likely in the most needy schools. We are at a crisis point in public schools right now. I am a special education teacher at small school in the county, working with mainstream special education students. Many self-contained special ed classes had no teachers or substitutes last year. I think in the next few years special Ed teachers like me will be moved around so that the most needy children have actual special Ed teachers (that is just my thinking, I have not actually been told this).[/quote]
