[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Musical ensembles have the potential to be much larger than regular classes and if the situation warrants it, it makes sense to have many more students in such classes. But it sounds like in this situation, student learning will be sacrificed greatly-- none of the kids will be consistently constructed at their ability level by mixing levels just for the sake of increasing class size. In my book, if any of the ensembles has fewer than 35 kids, it would be worth finding some way to combine. But if the average music class is no smaller than the class sizes in other depts, then there's no justification in combining.[/quote] The skill level is important or no one learns. [/quote] MCPS spends too much on these programs and sports which undermines essential topics like reading, writing and math.[/quote]
