[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow so impressive. 12 months after public schools shut down they might reopen . . . for 2 days a week.

Meanwhile crowded Catholic schools have been humming along fine 5 days a week since September with NO DEAD TEACHERS OR CHILDREN, of which we were told to expect plenty.

which catholic school is "crowded", and  please define "crowded". Are we talking 30 kids/class?[/quote]

yes - that is typical for catholics[/quote]

DP here. The Catholic school by us has like 56 per grade - normally two classes of 28. This year they added a third class per grade with an IA and they watch instruction live online from the class next door. They rotate which class gets the IA. This brought the class sizes down to about 18. No closures and if there have been quarantines I haven’t heard about them.[/quote]

Ours has 16 per class. They wanted to raise it this year and parents threw a fit. Half of what we pay for is small class sizes. My kid in FCPS has classes of 30 plus for every subject. [/quote]
PP here who asked about catholic school class sizes.. this is what I've heard, and why people choose private schools.. for the smaller class sizes, so I was kind of surprised when someone stated that class sizes in private schools were like 30 per class.

My kids are in MS/HS in public, and I know that some of the classes have 30+ kids.  At one point I was thinking of sending one DC to private for the smaller class sizes, but if private schools for MS/HS have large class sizes, too, then I don't think I would send my kid to private.

so, not sure how a large school with large classes would operate 5 days/week with kids going in person during a pandemic.[/quote]
