This is awful. [/quote]
This is where we need to prioritize. 29 in 1st. I think parents would gladly pay for an aide as in other districts, but MCPS won't allow it. Many would probably be open to a plan where parents pay for an aide for their school as well as for another less resourced school, but they won't allow that either.[/quote]

This has been normal since MCPS started.  This is nothing new.[/quote]
The class size increase, making the benefit of an aide even greater, is new. As are the increase in behavioral issues (and lack of capacity and/or willingness to deal with them) noted upthread.[/quote]

The behavior has always been an issue but its worse as MCPS refuses to hold anyone accountable for their behavior.  Behavior would improve with stricter teachers, more structured classes, involving parents interested in being involved, consequences for poor behavior... an aid will help but its not going to fix the problems.[/quote]
