Not sure what classroom noise or this alleged concussion has to do with it though - 2 teachers ought to be better able to control a classroom than one.
What are the details on this concussion incident - your post is the first I've heard of it.
The concussion happened within the past few days.
And do you have details on what happened and whether it had anything to do with the 3rd grade classroom model? I can easily see how my child might get a concussion on the playground or maybe in PE but a concussion typically requires a serious blow to the head and I'm having a hard time figuring how that may have happened in a classroom.
Also we are pretty socially dialed in so I find it hard to believe we haven't heard about this already so I hope you are not making things up to stir the pot?
It was inflicted by one child against another in the classroom. The injured child was moved to another class for the remainder of the year.
I think you need to adjust your "social dial".

The school must feel their solution is doable because I can't imagine they'd risk giving the students a great 3rd grade year since that's the first real year of high stakes testing. But seriously, 32 kids is way too many.

It's time to split Janney's IB area. Logically, streets east of Wisconsin should go to Murch or Hearst.

It's 32 with two teachers, not a teacher and an aide.

My child comes home every night and complains of often not being able to hear anything. It sounds like a chaotic environment.
I know that a child in another class suffered a concussion last week at the hands of another student.
I really think we were sold a line of b.s. by the school when they organized the classes like this.
