[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please speak out at council meetings, make it known to your council member. Please also reach out to the WTU, who would like to partner with more parents. Maybe if we work together, DCPS will follow the science.

I would love to see more real books and more assistance. I think we need 3 teachers in pre-K (1 lead 2 paras). And 2 in every grade until 5th. More differentiation will be possible and another person to support with behaviors as needed. If we have a really strong foundation in PK-5th MS and HS will be so much better. Sometimes I think DCPS thinks screen time will make learning more ‘fun’ and students better behaved -it’s the opposite.

We also need to get DCPS to give students consequences and hold parents who don’t take their kid to school accountable.[/quote]

Increase staffing by 50% in ECE and 100% in K-5.

This is deeply unrealistic.[/quote]

+1 It sounds amazing but you're talking about doubling school budgets at a time when schools are not renewing contracts for some teachers just to hit existing budgets.

A major reason Ed Tech is popular is because it's so much cheaper than people. You get what you pay for, but they aren't going to more than double ES staffing.[/quote]

So why not charge the families more? Sounds like the families who care the most about this would be willing to pay more for staffing. Whatever the amount, it would be less than paying for private school.[/quote]
