[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smaller class sizes are not the holy grail. Look at schools in ACPS - average class size in many schools can be under 20 students. In fact, the school that is consistently failing has the smallest class size and has for years. [/quote] Does ACPS have as great a range of class sizes though? Can you tell how students grow related to class size? FCPS has classes ranging from 10-37 in the same grade so it's easier to see how reducing class sizes helps. If there is enough research that even with low class sizes, certain students still fail, I think FCPS needs to look at what does help these students succeed and focus on this verses only on class size. And they need to be more transparent about why they've chosen such a disparity in class size from one school to another.[/quote]
