[quote=Anonymous]You people honestly need to get a grip. You don't have kids in this class (I do) and it's hard to understand why you are so irate about it. As explained, there are 2 outstanding teachers (a rarity, let's face it) teaching these kids, plus 2 student teachers right now. That's 4 people in the class! When one of the teachers goes on maternity leave from December - February, she's being replaced by an outstanding substitute. So far, two weeks in, my child is learning and is enthusiastic about the class. It was absolutely the teachers' decision to handle the class this way, it has nothing to do with budget. They have two rooms at their disposal, so they take smaller groups in to the other room. Lafayette doesn't have walls; most of the classes are divided by partitions, so it's not as if they're crammed into one traditional classroom. Unless you see it, it's hard to imagine it. If it doesn't work, I'm guessing these teachers will be the first one to say it's been a disaster and revert to regular classroom modes. I can understand complaints about this set-up, especially if you have a child with ADHD. However, Lafayette in general probably isn't your first pick if you have a kid who is easily distracted. Honestly, the fact that my child gets to have both of these great teachers is for me enough reason to have a wait and see attitude toward this class. [/quote]
