[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the teachers will tell you the detachment has to do with too many requirements and too large class sizes, none of which seem to be getting better.[/quote]

They say so, but it's just one more excuse for not working hard enough and simply not doing their jobs.

It's actually better to teach large classes than small classes. Small classes have low energy so the teacher is forced to carry all the weigh. Have a couple kids absent and it turns into snoozville.  Large classes have energy and dozens of perspectives on every topic. Why would a professional educator who introduces subject matter, dicusses it, has Q&A, assigns work, grades papers, reviews material and has unit assessments be detached from the students in a large class?

Kids don't need a teacher to be a BFF, they need them to be fully-engaged professional educators.  Unfortunately, in FCPS it doesn't matter if there fifteen or forty-students in a classroom the teachers pass out papers and then go sit at their desks until the class period ends.

They call that Project Based Learning. [/quote]
