[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, still on the fence about what to do!  would anyone just think that 30 kids is too much and find another alternative?[/quote]

It would totally depend on the child.  I have one child who is very independent, who works hard and always wants to do his best, and is assertive enough that if another kid was bothering him, he'd speak up.  He would likely thrive in a big or small class.  I have another child who would rather play than work and needs reminders to complete his work.  He wouldn't learn a thing in a class that big.  I'd also be hesitant to put a shy child in a class that large for social reasons.  I was a shy child and I did much better and was much happier at a small school with 15 kids or less per class than a big school with 25+ kids plus per class.  I was so unhappy at the big school, that my parents switched me mid-year.

All that being said, I think it would be tough to find alternatives at this point in the game.  The schools that still have spaces may not be the schools that would be your top choices otherwise.  You'd probably have more options if you just stuck it out for K and applied to schools for 1st grade.  [/quote]
