[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principal needs to stand up to parents and drop a prek class or two (or drop all of them) and not allow families who moved OOB to reenroll. Problem solved. If Janney families don't get behind this solution, they have no one but themselves to blame and should quit complaining. [/quote]

Totally agree. [/quote]

Most Janney parents have no idea overcrowding is even an issue.    Unless you have a current third grader it's not advertised that the 3rd grade classes are that large.  At the recent open house, the slide show gave ratios for third grade as 15:1 when in reality those classes have 32 to 33 kids in them (not a huge discrepancy but it makes a difference).  Plus they don't allude to the fact that the 2 teachers are only present for time spent in reading/writing/math and not for any specials.   And it's always presented in a very "glass half full" perspective.  "We have TWO full teachers per class in third grade!".  Not, "we are packing in 33 kids into a classroom built for 23".
