[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I volunteered in my child’s first grade class six years ago at a school that sounds identical to OP’s. There were 29 kids in the class, essentially a full time aide for the kids with diagnosed challenges, and it was STILL an unbelievably hot mess.

Kid throwing furniture, spitting all over the class, screaming, trying to leave, just general chaotic, disruptive behavior. The class was across the hall from the room that was designated for kids who have outbursts, and it was a nonstop revolving door of out-of-control kids from all over the school being dragged down the hall to that classroom.

We left after that year, went to private. Never intended to not go to our neighborhood FCPS school, but what a disaster. [/quote]

Similar story in an MCPS Kindergaten class. It was SO terrible for my kid, who was quiet and non-disruptive. We didn't realize the full situation (and the reasons behind my kid's behavioral change/self perception until a couple months in). [/quote]
