[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, did you find out from the school that there are 24 kids on the class list for your third child, who is starting kindergarten? Is that where this is coming from?

If so, I suggest that you give it a month or two and see how it goes, before getting upset.[/quote]

OP here. I found out from the class lists when we went to the school to meet the teacher/bring supplies. And there was mention between another parent and principal that more register last minute so this might not be the absolute. I am not pulling her out of the school and yes I will give it a chance. I just had no idea the K classes are allowed to run that big. My 4th grader has 23 kids. My new middle schooler I am unsure of but anything over 20 seems excessive to me but I guess that is what I am used to. Sounds like this district has a much larger ratio.

And there are no aides. Just volunteers that start in mid October. [/quote]

It wasn't just the class sizes that bothered me but the fact that there were no aids. Just parent volunteers, which it's nice but not enough especially in the early years like K-1.  The biggest concern we had was would out DC who is quiet and a bit shy her lost in the crowd. Something to keep an eye on.[/quote]
