[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to the Bethesda area a month ago and were shocked to hear from the principal that classes had 28-29 kids, one class had 30 kids.  This is not what appears on the website and what we were told.  We moved from an area in the Midwest with decent public schools and never more than 22-23 kids in elementary. I was an educator in my "first career" and there are reams of research on why this is bad for many reasons. No advanced nation with good schools has classes this big since it is well-known that small class sizes are much better for kids.

Is it worth talking to the Principal about this? Or the PTA?

Could anyone help point me in the right direction of who I should email?  [/quote]

I sympathize and agree with you, but nothing is going to change. It’s honestly pointless to try.[/quote]

It is always worth bringing it up again and again.

MCPS wants to train you and your kids to shut up and take it. Keep emailing. Keep talking to them. Agree that emailing state on the cc or in To line is a great idea too. This stuff adds up. When we left for NE DC we said in writing why and emailed it up and down the chain. Don’t trust the “feedback loop” even exisits in public sector. Everyone is just after more retirement benefits and juicers positions. They won’t alway pass along your concern.[/quote]
