[quote=Anonymous]I taught in a DC private school for seven years without a teaching degree. Not a Big 3, but one often discussed on DCUrbanmoms. Class sizes in the primary section was no larger than 18 students. Sometimes, the groups were great, a good mix of leaders, chatty kids, and hard workers. Sometimes, though, we had kids who could not find their “kind” among the few classmates. One year, I only had nine students (some got pulled out for enrichment/support). Of those nine students, only one would engage in our class discussions. Too many of them were just “there”. There can be a drawback to small classes as well. Keep that in mind. FWIW, I sent my kids to Catholic k-8 (30 kids per class) and public high school (mid-low tier fcps). They got to see both “worlds” and are doing just fine. Eldest is at a top 25 univ. [/quote]
