[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, but private schools aren't buying it; their middle schools are almost always much smaller than 900. DC isn't buying it either. If best practices were the focus here, we'd have the sort of test-in public middle school programs you find in cities all around the country (says this Boston Latin graduate; I had to take a killer four-hour test in 6th grade to gain entry). We also wouldn't have elementary schools with nearly 800 kids. New schools would be built or or buildings found in Upper NW to keep grade schools from getting so big. [/quote] Exactly. Those people pushing for a 1200+ Deal are nuts. [/quote] Deal is already 1341 and every year the 6th grade is bigger than the one before it. The next two classes to come are bigger yet.[/quote] At the open house on Saturday the principal told me that he's adding a 5th team to the 6th grade next year. [/quote]
