[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my #1 hesitation about MCPS — the unsafely low teacher to student ratio at lunch and especially during recess — and is the reason we are applying for a rising K student.

It’s such a shame MCPS will not allow us to fundraise for more staff the way DCPS does. The equity concern seems unfounded; parents who can afford it would foot the bill, and all children would benefit from the safer environment!

Sigh…

The equity concern is because you are essentially creating privately funded schools in a public school system. Then the rich schools sit pretty and nobody wants to fund more staffing for the low income schools. "My school is great so why do you need to raise my taxes?"

MCPS should not be trying to become more like DCPS.[/quote]

Agreed.  Understaffed recess doesn’t bother me.  Unstructured playtime is a good thing. I’ve never heard of a major injury having had two kids go through ES.

I do wish my kid’s ES teacher who has 32 kids in their class had a para to help her so my kid could get more attention/feedback in the classroom.  [/quote]
