[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]When we were in DCPS, the K class had 20 with 2 teachers. In our MCPS non-focus school we have 25 in K with 1 teacher.[/quote]

Our K class in MCPS had 29 kids one teacher no aide -I'm not kidding. In the high performing schools, the "cap" is often exceeded when new students enter or the enrollment is just under the cap.

DCPS allows parents to fund raise for an aide. MCPS could allow the non-focus schools to fund raise for aides as long as the ratios were not better than the non-focus schools. It doesn't. Part of ending the achievement gap for MCPS is to create whatever educational disadvantage it can in higher performing areas. [/quote]

I would say it definitely IGNORES higher performing schools. And it does not prioritize their need for additional teachers or physical space or budgetary resources.

Now if that can be cynically interpreted as creating edu disadvantages?  I'd agree it does not teach to potential, and therefore is letting down a lot of good students.  K-12 is such a great age to learn as much as possible and try new things and develop new interests and tests one's limits. That just isn't happening at MCPS non-focus schools. [/quote]

It's happening at my kids' schools, which are not focus schools.[/quote]
