[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired Teaching has 23 kids with a teacher, teaching assistant and an aide. [/quote] My feeling is that 1:9 (I'm talking to you, 2:18 poster) is no better, sorry. 25 kids with 3 teachers is 1:8, so there's very little difference. 23 is 1:7.5. The bottom line is that these programs are all too big, and it's not a good model for a lot of kids. You can argue the numbers all you want, it's the ratio that matters. And you will not convince me that the curriculum and structure at most of these schools is appropriate for very young children, especially for a 10 hour day when you factor in before and after care.
