[quote=Anonymous][quote]You described the median, not the mean (average). For a former teacher you are misinformed.

In any event even if one were to assume the median size for an ES in the county was 900 kids it wouldn’t mean that was ideal, only that schools are big. You definitely seem like an apologist for Karl Frisch, who has been a terrible School Board member and was ready to leave his seat on the board vacant before he got defeated in a primary for the House of Delegates. It’s only because he has no sense of shame whatsoever that he’s crawled back and asked for another term on the School Board (not because he cares about education - he doesn’t even have a college degree - but because it may well be his primary source of income).[/quote]

Oh.  So sorry.  I stand corrected on average vs mean.  But, face it, it works either way.

And, I am absolutely not an apologist for Karl Frisch.  I would never support him--or, for that matter, anyone currently on the School Board.  Most of what I know about him was what I read about him "saving" the dog park at the expense of kids.

However, I stand by my comment about school size.  You are not going to find many areas of FCPS where the neighborhood lends itself to smaller elementary schools.

And, FWIW, I will likely support the GOP endorsed candidates for SB and will vote against my current SB member who is running for higher offiice.

But, size of elementary schools is not the issue that concerns me.  Class size is the important issue.
