[quote=Anonymous]The support teacher line is BS. Your kid may never need the extra pullouts or supports, and regardless those are separate from what an ext re classroom teacher or dedicated assistant who knows the class can provide. It absolutely makes a difference to have an extra body in the class to divide up the kids, differentiate, offer special attention and cover for lead teacher absences. That’s why they have them in K and 1. Most 45K schools have all of the above through elementary. It’s a financial thing. WIS does not have anything close to the budget, donors and reserves of, say, BVR. WIS is still excellent but the staffing is similar to top-level publics in areas where PTA can fund staff. I personally don’t care much about facilities, but in-classroom teacher ratios are non-negotiable at this price. [/quote]
