[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things that bother me about public school are the overworked teachers, worries about political influences distracting from the classroom, class sizes, half-asses differentiation, not enough funding for all of the regulatory requirements, etc. so we moved our kid to private because we can afford it. I suspect a lot of people who choose private are similar to us. My husband and I graduated from FCPS and were big proponents of public school, until we weren’t. [/quote] I’d love to see a study with facts on class size. Our two kids did a DC elementary, Deal and now JR. Aside from one elementary year and electives like art/music at JR, neither has had more than 22 kids in a class. We can’t just be lucky. I’m always curious about this. [/quote] We got pretty lucky at our FCPS school, actually. Never had a "full" class, usually 22-24 kids. I grew up with 38-40 in most of my classes in an overcrowded area during a population boom.
