[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome to the current life of an elementary teacher in America. I’m not saying this situation is okay. It’s not. We are overworked. We are understaffed. Class sizes are too big. Needs are extreme. [/quote]

This. I ended up sending my DS to a Catholic school even though we aren't Catholic and it is head and shoulders above his highly rated public school. I think he only has religion class twice a week and it sounds more like history, ethics and values rather than anything else. Mass is once a week. I think they say a prayer on the morning and afternoon announcements too. He has 16 kids in his class and there are 2 classes for most grades. His teachers really know him (he is smart but lazy) so they don't get him get away with much of anything which I love. I like their lunch times. Twice a week, they are assigned to a table with students from one grade above and one grade below so they get to know each other. They end up talking to people they probably wouldn't ever talk to so it's nice that I see my son talking to kids not in his grade. At mass, each 6th grader gets a kindergarten buddy that they sit next to and they keep the same buddy for 3 years. It is just such a nice school with class sizes that are manageable and it isn't crowd control. I'm a teacher and I don't make much money especially since I am a single parent but the tuition I spend is well worth it.[/quote]
