[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"DCPS doesn't allow actual certified teacher::pupil ratio to dip to 11::1 in K and up in non-Title I schools including Janney. PTA funds cannot buy additional accredited, credentialed teachers to bring down ratios.

So, still no. They are not teachers in the way that the actual teacher is a teacher, even if they have now completed college."

So, let me understand your argument. The people who are in my child's classroom, who have master degrees in education and years of experience as certified teachers in DCPS, and who are giving instruction and assistance to my child, aren't "teachers" because there can be only one "teacher" in a classroom?

Sounds logical to me.[/quote]

You have one teacher, who likely has the features you list above, and she has an aide, who is not on the DCPS payroll as a teacher.   She was hired as an assistant, with PTA funds, and you know it.

If you're so cocksure you have two full-time, salaried, union teachers in your child's Janney classroom, as described by this position listing, why don't you tell us what grade that is?    And while you're at it, specify which other classrooms at Janney have two union member, full-time, credentialed teachers?  Because I'm sure yours isn't the only anointed classroom at Janney, right?
