[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Did the protest at Cook happen too?

The flyer at the twitter link says:
Enough is Enough
Our kids deserve better
3rd grade caregivers are writing to demand a response. We asking for:
Two adults in all 3rd grade classrooms for the remainder of SY 22/23
Commitment to at least 2 hour of actual instruction in Math and ELA each day for the remainder of SY 22/23
Additional academic support (tutoring, summer programming, after care enrichment, etc) specifically for 3rd grade students
An additional teacher (or aide) for each teaching pair for SY 23/24

[/quote]

Okay, hold on now. I'm no MV booster (far from it!), but how many schools have two teachers/aides per classroom in third grade? What does an additional teacher/aide for each teaching pair mean? A third adult in the classroom half of the time? How many charters provide tutoring, summer academics, and academics in after care?

Without context this seems like a lot to ask from a charter school, and even DCPS when it comes to having two adults in the classroom. Is this a post-pandemic issue with third grade (who did K and 1st virtually)? Has there not been enough intervention to get those kids caught up? Are classrooms totally out of control that they need 2-3 adults in third grade every day? I deleted my Twitter, but can anyone see the comments to see (hopefully) more details?

I'd really love more information because I came here fully ready to pile on MV, but it's a charter school, not DCPS, they don't HAVE to offer all of the bells and whistles if they don't want to. [/quote]

Yeah...this is strange. What's the context? Are there like 50 kids in the 3rd grade? most of this seems like demand for extra.[/quote]
