Yes, of course, all parents wish that the teacher could spend more time with our children, individually, or at the least in a small group setting.  Unfortunately, the reality in many school districts is that the schools are overcrowded.  We used to live in a wealthy district with very little farms/esol population. The classes in that district was still fairly large, and the kids hardly got any individual attention.  I agree with a PP, the issue is that mcps has gotten too big.  This is not a curriculum or teacher issue.  There is no large school district that does not have overcrowding issues in the classes. It's not physically possible for a teacher to spend more time with each child or small group with the class sizes that we have.   This is a budget issue.  We need more classrooms and/or more teachers or para-teachers.  This is really the only really effective way to allow a teacher to spend more time with each child or small group.[/quote]

You are conflating

1. size of school district
2. capacity of school building
3. class size

They are three separate issues.[/quote]
