[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advice from a parent whose kids had "only" 27 other kids in their grade school classes: do what it takes to let them come home after school on the bus. Get a sitter if you must who can show up M-F from after school until you get home if you cannot be there. Do not put your child in SACC; iyour child needs to get away from that chaotic environment. 6-7 hours is more than enough time spent in that level of noise, churn, and chaos. Get 'em out of there as soon as the bell rings at the end of the day! Seeing the relief and smiles on my kids' faces when they got off the bus in the afternoon is one of the best things I ever did, looking back. They could relax, clear their brains, and it made a HUGE difference for them at that age. They came out as well-adjusted humans who are now young adults. They now say they are thankful they got to come home from FCPS after school.[/quote] This is exactly why kids at low SES schools who must go to SAC should have smaller class sizes. [/quote]
