[quote=Anonymous]When my kid was in kindergarten (Richmond Public Schools) they pulled a few kids from each class out each day to meet with an assistant rather than hiring a 4th teacher. Somehow reducing the number of bodies in the room for a portion of the day helped them magically be under the standards of quality ratios. I think you have every right to ask the principal why this is the solution (are there really ZERO teachers? Our urban elementary school was able to hire a bunch of 22 year old college grads and only has vacancies for things like long term sub). I'd like to believe this was literally the only thing your principal could come up with for the short term but it can't hurt to ask. But ultimately, I've made my peace with the shoe string budgets, overcrowded classrooms, and other compromises associated with public schools. I still believe in them and want to support them, and I think my kids will be more worldly and flexible as a result.[/quote]
