[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising Deal student and how can all this be? Long lines at lunch? Do the kids have enough time to eat? Are parents calling downtown for answers?[/quote]

I teach at a middle school in Maryland. Our kids have 30 minutes for lunch. I work lunch duty and, on average, the last kid makes it through the line with 5-7 minutes to eat. They rarely complain, but I can't help but feel bad for them. When I was in school, lunch was an hour. I have a rising 4th grader at Murch who's been looking forward to Deal. I'm starting to rethink it now. I wonder what the class sizes are like. [/quote]

My kid’s classes were 20-22 kids per class. FWIW, we moved from private because they accelerated math better at Deal. [/quote]

My kids classes this past year (6th grade) were 30 kids.  I think Deal has gotten larger since your kid was there. [/quote]

I don't think the 6th grade classes were split evenly--probably based on the number of kids taking each language and the different math classes and the fact that the math classes led to a reshuffling of schedules a week into school.  My kid definitely had classes with 30 kids in them in 6th grade.  [/quote]
