[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s use common sense. If a school has 5 kindergarten classes and only four teachers, then they break up the class with no teacher and disperse those students. So, your class of 25 may end up being a class of 30. If a school has 4 kindergarten classrooms and 3 teachers but they have an interventionist for reading then that interventionist will continue their pay but be put back in the classroom. In other words, it’s a game of moving things around. What else are they going to do, deny your child entry?[/quote]

Doesn't that violate state law on class sizes?[/quote]

There is no Maryland state law that dictates class sizes.
And even if they were.... what exactly is the alternative?  You can't force people to come teach.  So your choice is to do what they are doing - make class sizes bigger, pull in other staff to supervise, etc. or...
Hire literally any warm body off the street.  We're almost there, but not quite.  And I'd rather my kid in a larger class with a real teacher than a smaller class with, for example, a Veteran without a college degree like Florida discussed doing. [/quote]
