[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have [b]taught at both private and public elementary schools [u]in DC[/u] [/b]and one private school in NOVA. [b]The average class sizes at the two private schools where I taught were 26 and 30 students.[/b] The average class size at my current DCPS school is 19. Teacher quality is better at the DCPS school and there is more hands-on learning and use of a variety of classroom materials (heavy on the textbooks at the private schools). All schools where I have taught have had end of the year standardized tests. It is true that DCPS tests more frequently throughout the year.[/quote] C'mon. by "private" school you mean to actually say "parish k-8 school," right? I cannot think of a single independent school "in DC" that has 30 students in the class. Parents paying $30-40,000 a year would never, ever stand for that. Catholic schools, of course, do have class sizes that big. [/quote]
