[quote=Anonymous]Thank you. This exactly. I realize this is an issue at a county level and I’m wondering if anything is being done to address it. The response that class sizes at Takoma park elementary are similar to other schools is both true and appalling.

I’ve talked to neighbors in Takoma Park about their experience with TPES in the past 2 years and everyone - even those who are overall very happy with the school - mentions various issues that are directly related to the class sizes.

If parents aren’t allowed to fund aides, okay fine. But what’s being done at a county level to address this issue?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides the large classroom size, can anyone please share additional recent experiences? Are kids learning, are they challenged academically, do they enjoy school, are there behavior issues that impede learning? (Not OP).[/quote]

Again the classroom size is the same as any moderate FARMS MCPS school. [/quote]

Yes, but it’s also fair for others to say it’s big for early elementary. DCPS schools have an aide in early elementary for classes of that size. For many people who moved here when class sizes were 18, it’s an unpleasant surprise. And the teachers frequently mention how stressful this year and last have been given the class sizes.
