[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]26 kids in kindergarten classes.[/quote] This is awful. [/quote] This is where we need to prioritize. 29 in 1st. I think parents would gladly pay for an aide as in other districts, but MCPS won't allow it. Many would probably be open to a plan where parents pay for an aide for their school as well as for another less resourced school, but they won't allow that either.[/quote] This has been normal since MCPS started. This is nothing new.[/quote] The class size increase, making the benefit of an aide even greater, is new. As are the increase in behavioral issues (and lack of capacity and/or willingness to deal with them) noted upthread.[/quote] My DD (now 22) had 29 in first grade with no aide. Luckily she had a fabulous teacher and it was one of her best years in ES. I would trade a small class for a great teacher any time.[/quote]
