[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are in classes of 29 and 30 students (lower elementary) in FCPS. I have always looked at public school as sufficient, if not perfect, b/c I wasn't willing to pay $25-30K per kid for private. That amount would have a serious impact on our lives. We could do it, but we would not be able to save anything for retirement and our living expenses would take up all other earned income. But, I do feel that my kids are just getting by in public school b/c they are not behavior problems and they are meeting/exceeding benchmarks. If they had 20-22 in a class, I'd feel a lot more relieved (although the behavior problems would still be in the class, but at least they wouldn't be so anonymous). Do you ever seriously consider going private b/c of the huge classes and huge school sizes? What do you do to make public school work for your child?[/quote] No, but I do seriously consider homeschooling.[/quote]
