[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you can, and the good ones do (lived through it). Get a teacher for a grade rather than a reading initiative teacher.  But really, it's all a numbers game.  If they are above 30 by March, nbd.  No school should start the year with those kids of numbers.  I would be on the phone with Board of Ed member and writing to Dr Smith and Dr Zuckerman with every Board member copied about how the large class size is unacceptable.

UNLESS your school is already overcapacity, there are no available additional classrooms, and there is no room on the site for additional portables.  That would be the ONLY excuse acceptable, and MCPS had better have a plan in place to address it by the next year, or I would make myself the biggest PITA they've ever seen.

Agree with OP who said they are disappointed they moved here for the schools that are supposed to be so good only to find out they are not.  Overcrowding, disastrous curriculum, abuse, lack of discipline, etc., etc.[/quote]

Many schools are overcapacity, with no available additional classrooms and no room on site for additional portables, like my kids' school.  And the MoCo Council approved more residential development and just put a "placeholder" in the budget that gives MoCo 6 years to figure out what to do to add more capacity.   So yes, then you see 30+ kids in a classroom.[/quote]
