Shaping the future pillars of soceity is very much in our hands. Looks like its just running away like the ginger bread man, so innocently to end up in some clever fox's mouth. Every time I meet up with a fellow mom, we do not start our conversation with the weather. Its "oh did you hear so and so is going to let go of next year?, Did you read about our school district? Did you hear about the class room size increase etc...etc".
As parents we all want the best for our children. As a community we all want to provide our children with the best education that can guide them through life forever. But when many devoted teachers are gone, and the available teacher's are left to deal with larger classrooms, how chaotic is the situation going to be? May be the principal and school district can justify it with a serious explanation of series of numbers. But what boils down is the confused kids, parents and equally confused teachers.
I heard from another mom that the school district is supposed to pay 3 million as fine to the state for increasing classroom sizes. I did not check this statement yet. But if thats true, is this a wise move??? First pay a 3 million fine and increase class sizes. The spend a few more millions on infrastructure to accomodate 33 kids in a class room designed for 20 kids. Then spend few more millions in training teachers to handle 33 kids instead of 20, they are used to. Does it make any sense? Not to me. Why not use all the money on the existing teachers in the same existing classroom set up?
Hello fellow moms, with school age children, any suggestions on voicing our thoughts and getting some help?
