I think the school district should hire 2 new teachers. The smaller the student to teacher ratio the better education students will get. :wink: That would allow for more one on one with students who need it. :thumb: Aren't we supposed to let "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND?" :huh: With a class of 28-30 kids and only one teacher, I'm sure many will be left behind learning wise but pushed on through to get them out of school. :eek:

I have it on good authority from a school district employee that the reason the two teachers are not being replaced is because the student population is not big enough. This fifth grade class that is moving up next year is the smallest one they have had in a long time. My question is though, what if the next class, the now 4th graders moving up to 5th next year, is bigger? Then what??

Ahhh.
My old English is a bit rusty, but, I shall try to make it through that post.

The student population sure was big enough to build a new middle school though, wasn't it? :huh: Now we need 2 teachers and all of a sudden it's not big enough of a class to need them. :stick: I have the same question concerning future classes though. I have another child moving up in a couple years. I think a smaller classroom would give our children better learning opportunities. Our administration is not looking at how this will affect our children. If you call the school the message you get is "Thank you for calling the Tyrone Middle School and High school where the education of children comes first..." Yeah right. :rofl: More like the money in our administrations pockets come first!! :roll:
