[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big are MS core classes (math, science, English, social studies) in block schedule schools vs 45min class schools? Do teachers really get to know your kids? I felt like in ES my kid was basically a number and it’s just getting worse.[/quote] They are the same size. Most kids are just numbers except if they stand out in good or bad ways. [/quote] I’m a MCPS teacher at a block schedule school. I teach a core subject and my 5 classes had 25+ kids last year. Specials classes averaged 35 students per section. It’s not sustainable. The model needs to shift to 6 sections (which I believe TPMS used to have).[/quote]
