[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I just don't see your point. My son is in grade 2 at Sidwell Friends. Sidwell has 24 kids in every LS classroom and its never spoken of on this board as having "large" classes. There are two full time co-teachers per class. Nevertheless, if the OP wants a class of say 16 kids, then I'd suggest McLean School, or Field. Or one of the underperforming MoCo public schools. [/quote]

Your diss of Moco public schools really does not help with the reputation of stuck up sidwell parents.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you are attacking, but I think you misunderstand her point. It is the [u]underperforming[/u] MoCo schools that have 16 per class. The MoCo schools that perform well (and there are many of them) have many more students in the classroom. If you have any friends in strong MoCo schools, just ask them. I have friends who are at underperforming MoCo schools, and the class size they describe is 12-16 students. Indeed, one of them specifically chose a particular MoCo school precisely because of the small class size, as compared to the other local MoCo schools with bigger classes. [/quote]
