[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But its not just 1 adult all day is it? There are aides and specialists and volunteers.

[b]Also a good teacher can manage 35 kids. Its about the effectiveness of the teacher, not the number of students, in reality[/b].[/quote]

Do you really, truly believe that is true?

I've had 2 kids go through K, and both had WONDERFUL K teachers.  However, with 26 or 28 students, there is just way too much going on.  Last year, our (really good) K teacher had 6 different reading groups to meet with.  It was crazy.

It is truly impossible to meet the needs of 28 five-year olds, all coming in at different levels of ability.

And, no there are no aides, just volunteers at our school.  The volunteers are only there some days, and only stay for a short amount of time.  We do have a reading specialist for K students, but the students get taken out for that - she does not come into the classroom.  Also, we have kids who get taken out for ESOL.  But, no specific classroom aide in K.  [/quote]
