[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6th graders have 16 kids in their class. This is in McLean pyramid. This has been the case (16-18) for last 3 yrs. lots of kids here go private do plenty of space in public. [/quote]

How many classes are there? [/quote]

2 6th grade classes.[/quote]

And what is the school? You can't claim this and not name it.[/quote]

Franklin Sherman elementary, McLean. Lots of kids in this pyramid go to privates.[/quote]

My bad, I checked with another parent, there are 3 6th grade classes. Sorry about the confusion but each around 16-18.[/quote]

FCPS needs to address these major discrepancies - my child's has four 6th graded classes of 25-30 children each. Incredibly unfair. We'd like one of your teachers that you don't need, thanks.[/quote]

The classes are suppose to be split when they get to 31 students. 16-18 students per class would mean classes of at least 32 kids and a split. Your schools classes did not hit that 31 mark level so they were not split. That is the way the math works. It is why some schools end up with AAP or Gen Ed classes with 18 kids each while the other class has 25. The AAP or Gen Ed program ends up with classes of 31 or 32 kids and so need to e split. The other class has kids of 25 and they don't split. It is how the formula works. [/quote]
