[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with staffing formula is it his holistic grades 1-6. Then the principal decides where to allocate teachers. So you can have 60 kids in one grade and 80 is another with 3 teachers each. The staffing formula needs to be switched to grade level. [/quote] I have seen mixing grades in one class help with evening out the classroom sizes. It can work well. [/quote] Split-level classes rarely work well. One group always gets the short end of the stick, and the teacher has double the preps. Better resolution is to reallocate staff based on student numbers. Our ES does this. DC's kindergarten year had 3 classes, the next year there were two. This has rippled up as they've progressed through grades. [/quote]I guess we have been lucky. I had split classes from 1st through 6th. It was fine. My kids had them a few times and it worked well. [/quote]
