[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that a lot of it has to do with overcrowded schools. It used to be that the principal knew you, knew your kid, maybe knew the family. Our Elementary school has 800 kids. It’s crazy. And tons of teacher turnover. It’s definitely lacking a solid sense of community. This happens for many reasons. We are a Focus school and about 1/3 of the parents speak a different language. We get some special programs bussed in, and those families rarely attend school events. So many reasons. [/quote] What's the capacity of the building? A school with 800 kids, in a building built for 800 kids, is not overcrowded. It's just large. Whereas a school with 400 kids, in a building built for 300, is overcrowded and small.[/quote]
