[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But wait till middle and high school. My DD in a "red zone" high school has 30 or more kids in most classes.[/quote] Secondary is a different world. It's much easier to hire 1-2 elementary classroom teachers for . . . .let's say grades 2 and 3 than it is to hire 2 more English teachers, 3 more science, 1 more math - You get the picture. Once you hit secondary, it's all about the content area/department, as teachers become specialized. So making class sizes smaller is harder. Furthermore, shifting around kids in a fairly complex scheduling environment causes disruptions in their schedules, which could put off graduation. [/quote]
