[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC’s 1st grade class had 24 students, with 1 homeroom teacher plus 4 TAs because there were 3 “difficult” kids (not special need kids, I think special need kids would behave much better) in the class. One cries and screams often, one kicks and never listen, and one run away from classroom again and again. I had once saw one kid had a meltdown and needed 3 teachers to assist but still didn’t help. I would feel much relieved if there’s only 1 teacher at DC’s class.[/quote]

You're ignorant. You know nothing about those three kids or special needs.[/quote]

You could be right, so I said nothing to school, teachers were all great so I had no complain, but that’s the only 1st grade class equipped with 4 TAs ( the rest all had 1 homeroom teacher only), and I saw what happened when I went volunteer at class,, and from what DC told me many times. And this year DC’s  at the same class with these kids so they have total 5 teachers at their class again. What can I say? I only wish DC can go to a class next year where she no longer needs to deal with any of these.[/quote]

That’s why so many want to go to AAP.[/quote]

Our AAP was the same. In fact, for my kid's grade they had equal number of AAP and "GenEd" classes in 5 and 6th, all with way too many kids. Except my own child's class who had what they used to (still?) call the "inclusion class." We had fewer kids plus and aid. [/quote]

At our center the AAP classes are much larger than General Ed.[/quote]
