[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the principal presumably doesnt like the uncertainty of how many kids are returning for 5th. the basis waitlist for example moves a lot in august. suddenly after planning for two 5th grade classes, there are only 20-25 returning.[/quote] It’s not that the principal “doesn’t like” it - it’s that teaching positions need to be funded and teachers need some degree of job security year to year. It’s kind of a lose-lose situation. [/quote] They have the right number of kids for one class if they don't take new ones. There are plenty of classes in DC with 24-25 kids, which is what Brent has had recently. This is principal preference through and through.[/quote]
