[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Given the ever increasing class sizes [/b](by 5th grade up to 31, 35+ in MS), and teachers who do not differentiate (how can they with so many kids at so many different levels, not to mention the many behavioral problems with no consequences and an ever increasing number of ED kids in my kids schools), no.

Wish we could afford private.[/quote]

By ever-increasing, do you mean that class sizes get bigger as the kid goes from K to upper ES to MS to HS? Because otherwise no, class sizes aren't "ever increasing". In fact, MCPS just lowered some maximum class sizes in ES. Class size limits in non-focus ESs are 25 in K, 27 in 1-3, 29 in 4-5.[/quote]

Our kids K has 30. It had three classes of 20-21 and then one kid left for private and it became two at 30. And we lost the teacher.

Caps are indeed higher as grade level goes up. In our 4th grader they keep tryouts to split up a group of 8-9 loud boys but they still take over each of those classes.

No idea about MS but since it’s busting with crowded hallways and trailer classrooms probably the same.[/quote]
