[quote=Anonymous]27-30 is standard in my kids' FCPS.  There is an assistant in the kinder. class, but the 2nd grade class has 30 with no assistant.

Was I worried about it when we were looking at starting kinder.?  Absolutely.  Most preschools have a lot of personal attention.  The reality is that personal attention isn't gonna happen in public schools.  I know that's not what anyone wants to hear.  But, it's reality.

Would I like my kids to have smaller classes and more personal relationships with their teachers.  Absolutely.  However, what are the options?  Am I willing to pay $50,000 to $60,000 per year (two kids) for smaller classes and personal attention?  I have really pondered this.  It would be possible, but in the end while the class sizes bother me, they don't bother me enough to part with that kind of cash EVERY year for the next 10 years.

I know some aspects of public school are kind of shocking, (certainly different than what you are used to with most preschool programs), but it is what it is.  We take it for what it offers and try to add to it at home where we can.

Would love to have a better situation, but not for that kind of cash.  Public school will do.[/quote]
