[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really would rather no trailers but have large classrooms with teachers who are overwhelmed?  The ratios are calculated across the entire school, so it rarely requires multiple trailers for each school due to a student drop in class size.  According to some parents at Haycock for instance they are fine if classes were in a tent, so I'm not sure the trailer verses classroom is a huge issue at those overcrowded schools.  I'm not familiar with high schools to know if the current ratios are fine or not.  I only hear complaints at the elementary school level.  I think there are just too many children attending specific schools like AAP centers and that is a result of more than class size ratios.[/quote]

How do you figure that AAP affects it?  The school gets a HUGE amount of extra money for AAP.  Are there more kids in trailers because there are more kids overall?  Yes, but the entire feel of the school is different.  The Haycock parents would not be willing to have their kids in classes in a "tent" if AAP were not int he school raising the test scores and contributing to the overall exciting academic atmosphere there.  The parents there who wish AAP would go away, might get their wish and ultimately be very disappointed.[/quote]
