[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that the situation will get significantly worse next year when DCPS sets aside one-quarter of lottery seats for at-risk children. [/quote] God forbid anyone at a disadvantage (read: non-whites) get any sort of a helping hand over my white child...[/quote] Let's try this on for size. School X has 100 spots for PK4, so 25 of those seats will be set aside for at risk. Assuming these seats are filled, and the 25 IB students who are shut out qshow up the following year for K, the school will need to add an additional K class just to accommodate the added population. What happens the next year? Parents will demand an extra 1st Grade classroom to keep student-teacher ratios below 25:1, and so on. This could result in an extra six classrooms for K-5. Right? So how will you fell when classroom ratios jump from the low 20s to upper 20s to 1.[/quote]
