[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP This is what I'm afraid of. Math seems easier because it is more straightforward. I don't see how reading and writing can be taught to so many at a time.[/quote]

Last year I had 29 students in one class, 24 in the other. I can honestly say the group of 24 received better reading instruction just by the fact that I was able to meet with them in guided groups more often.[/quote]

This is so true.  My child got 15 min. PER WEEK of reading instruction in a small group for all of 1st and 2nd grade (perhaps for 3rd grade too, but by then she was on her own anyway).  I don't know how people keep calling FCPS so great when a 1st grader gets 15 min. of small group time per week????  That does not qualify as "gold standard" to me.  I'd have gladly traded the computer time or music time (even though I like music for kids) for more teacher time.  Frustrating that kids who are on track to meet benchmarks are left to their own devices (at age 6) to entertain themselves at school.
