[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you need is 1 disruptive kid or behind kid in your "high caliber class" and that is the time sink. Too much pressure to test well and get everyone to same level.

The only thing worse than public school is a massive county-run public school. [/quote]

OK, let's get rid of the public school system! No more public schools. And then what?[/quote]

put an aide in the classrooms. that's how DCPS and private schools handle it. and lower max caps on # of kids per class. 
so much more effective to teach over 22 kids of different abilities when there are two teachers, not one. the rotating centers structure doesn't cut it, never will. [/quote]

Put an aide in which classrooms? Once we've gotten rid of the public schools, which nothing is worse than, according to the top PP.

Also, is DCPS generally considered a highly-effective school system?[/quote]

Central offices aside, there is much more effective teaching going on in NWDC ESs than in MCPS ESs in Bethesda or Silver Spring. The DC ES curriculum is way better, the classroom size caps are 20 or 22 and there is an aide in each classroom to help the teacher. They don't even need to do the rotating centers, kids get more teacher time speaking ,discussing and learning. They also have three times the amount of gym, music and art class than MCPS each week. plus foreign languages intros.  Same fantastic community, talk to school, and involved parents/PTA.

Check it out yourself, in person.

But here's a start - classroom schedules, PTA initiatives, extracurriculars. All right there.
