[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone think that ACP$ is purposely trying to fail so that people pull thier kids out and send them to private schools? That way the city doesn't have to build enough schools to accommodate everyone.

[b]If my child's kindergarten class has 28 students, 4 over the own city's cap I would be searching for other options. It's crazy, with the amount we are paying in property taxes so we should be able to send our children to decent schools.[/quote]

The issue isn’t JUST the large class sizes. It’s the difference in class sizes from school to school. Some K classes have 27 or 28 kids where another school has 17 or 18. That’s a major discrepancy in class sizes and puts those in the larger classes at a disadvantage. Even more so when those larger classrooms have many ELL students.

Keep pushing if you are outraged and disappointed. [/quote]

If you are in one of the schools that have 27 or 28 kids in a class, be prepared to be told to transfer to one of the schools that have 17 or 18. That will be the first solution. The very last solution would be to add a classroom at your assigned school.

Still not sure where the 54 million in COVID funds went. With two years of learning down the drain, it would make sense to keep class sizes small and spend the money on actual teachers instead of blowing it at central office. [/quote]
