[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were about 30 kids in my kid's title 1 3rd grade class and 32 in the 4th grade class, with a second teacher. The third grade year was astonishingly good for my kid, that teacher is an AMAZING veteran. Sadly, it's true, that most days 30 or 32 kids were not there, as absenteeism is Not Good post covid.[/quote] The 32 with 2 teachers (assuming real teachers and not aides) is a choice the school is making and is really 2 16 kid classes for staffing ratio purposes, so actually much smaller than most classes in real terms. But 30 in a T1 with one teacher? Unless there was a staffing issue (i.e., a teacher left/couldn't be replaced/hired), your school is embezzling money. When my school was a T1, we could afford 18 kid classrooms, 7 specials and all sorts of assorted support staff. Maybe maybe that happens if it's a 1 class per grade school? Even then, our school had 15 & 16 kid 3rd grade classes with no pressure to enlarge.[/quote]
