I cannot believe there is any excuse for not having a 4th K teacher in at the very beginning of the year. Sure, some kids may not show up, but the 8 per class over 3 classes needed to get down to 22 per class? Especially in kindergarten when kids should really have the least disruptive start to school. The way we fund teachers should be by grade and kids, not overall levels. We cannot expect classroom max targets to be the minimum. Kids, especially when looking at neighborhood school assignment plans, simply do not come in such neat little packages.<br /><br />NE ParentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
