Overcrowded schools?

[itsbob]

Do they follow up with what they mean by that? What does 'capacity' mean? If you think a teacher should have no more than 20 students, and the county says 30 - well, who's right? Quoting statistics in this instance might not address what people are really saying.

I mean, I hear you, but I had a couple of neighbors who were teachers, and they all thought there were too many in the schools they taught in - even if the county thought they were under capacity.

But if you ask a teacher, anything over 15 kids in a class is too much..

But I agree, I don't see many portable classrooms here like I did in Calvert County...

My youngest daughter's 2nd grade class (in a portable by the way) has 17 kids in it. I think that's a pretty good class size. Of course..we are in the southern end of St. Mary's, so that might make a diffrence.
