[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach first grade and I have 28 students. I think that is too high but 28 in third grade is doable. [/quote]

Ugh, that’s crazy for First Grade.

Less than ideal for any K-3 classroom.  [/quote]

There are 28 kids in my kindergartener’s class! No aides. Bethesda. And they only get 20 mins of recess twice a day. DH is a big proponent of public schools (I went to private school on full scholarship so this is all new to me) but I am not thrilled with the class sizes and lack of physical activity. [/quote]

Give your DH some time.  I attended public school and believe in the benefits of a strong public education system.  But we consider private school every single year.

Once your DH realizes how MCPS is so poorly run, he’ll consider private.

The large class sizes are only the beginning.  The haphazard curriculum, the error ridden worksheets, the lack of science education in ES, etc.   PE once a week.  Uninspired ‘art on a cart’. Tell your DH to volunteer for events in the classroom an ask your DC about his/her day regularly.  Once he gets a feel for what MCPS has to offer, he’ll soon be on board to go private.

MCPS is too large and too poorly run to be an effective school system.  [/quote]
