[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's interesting. My daughter is in K in DCPS and there are 22 kids in the class and two teachers. I thought most private schools had significantly smaller class sizes?[/quote]

Your dcps class doesn't have two teachers. It has one teacher and an aide. At least at my dcps, aides are poorly educated and poorly paid and very uneven quality. And no aide after K, unless you're at one of the handful of schools where the pta pays for extra staff.

We went from 26 kids in a wotp dcps with one teacher to 18 kids in private, plus an additional math specialist during math class. [/quote]

It really depends. I volunteered pre-covid in K and our [b]aide was in college close to getting her teaching degree[/b]. She worked in small groups (as did the teacher). No, she wasn’t a credentialed, but yes [b]two teachers were on the classroom[/b]. The other two aides at the school were similar.

Also, your post wreaks of privilege. [/quote]

Those two are contrary points.

Also, it's reeks.[/quote]
I'm an aid who could get the license from OSSE (I passed all the Praxis tests and have 32 MA  credits in ECE), but it wouldn't make a difference in my pay this year. There's a teacher plus an aid who is retired DCPS K teacher of over 25 years. I'd say that 2 teachers in the classroom can happen. Not sure if this aid has an active license or not, but I'm sure she could renew it.
We also have several specialist coming into the classroom several times a week.[/quote]
