[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ When you say over the “limit,” what do you mean? The WTU (flexible) limit is 25. I’m having difficulty believing that Miner has so many classes over 25…[/quote]

This is me not understanding how DCPS works — if a class is over the limit do they not split it into two classes? Is that not the point of a limit? These class sizes sound pretty outrageous. [/quote]

Usually yes and they add from the WL to make up the difference. The hardest jump is 1 to 2 classes though, because they aren’t going to make 13 kid classrooms if don’t have a WL to supplement from. 2 to 3 is usually less problematic though because 52 = 26 + 26 or 17 + 17 + 18 and those class sizes will typically fly. Our school has a bunch that size, in fact. This should be all the more true at Miner, which has T1 money to play with. That’s why I’m guessing this person was treating 22 as a limit, which is actually the target (ie ideal) from DCPS’ perspective, not the limit.[/quote]

Thank you for explaining this!! It’s very interesting and helpful. [/quote]
