[quote=Anonymous]Often the funding for school's to hire teachers is based on last year's enrollment, so if there are big shifts, it impacts the next year's cohort. That and cohort sizes vary which makes it all harder too. My son was in a class of 33 for 1st and 4th grade. The principal knew what she was doing - they were all good, easy kids. The cohort above and below were in classes of 20-24 - they were a lot harder and needed to be in smaller class sizes. He's in 9th grade now without any ill effects from 2 years in a huge class. Just check in with the teacher if you're concerned.[/quote]
