I often wonder if we focused on reducing class sizes in the very earliest grades, if class size would be less of an issue in the higher grades. - TWuG Jul 28, 10:40 11
- if parents could take a little bit of responsibility and raise decent children, then bigger class sizes (max 40) wouldn't matter. - CQ Jul 28, 10:50 2
  - it's not, but how much individual attention could you give 40 kids in a day? -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 10:55 1
    - hee, 10 quality minutes of 1 on 1! -- nm - CQ Jul 28, 11:10
- 5 to 1? That's a fairy tale as long as people so strenuously object to taxes. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 28, 10:46 1
  - Sure. No argument. - TWuG Jul 28, 10:50
- We got the notice this week. Our classes sizes are going to be approaching 40 (2nd and 5th grade) -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 10:41 5
  - Wife's class max 2 years ago was 18. This year is 27. - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:43 2
    - In my mind's eye I can comoftably see 5 rows of seats, 6 deep, so 30. Beyond that though, is insanity. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:45 1
      - I can in middle/high school. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 28, 10:46
  - Wow. I can not imagine that. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 10:42 1
    - It's due, in part, to the fact that the state of IL owes our district millions of dollars that it isn't paying -- nm - oblique Jul 28, 10:42
$320,000?! Pfft. That's only half the salary of a city manager in California. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Jul 28, 10:38
