    Comments: My daughter is in kindergarten at PS163. Please make the correct decision concerning class size. Class size is directly linked to improved student achievement. We are already struggling with few assistants and paraprofessionals. Please make smaller class sizes a priority. Thank you.

    Comments: My daughter attends PS163 and is currently 1 of 28 kids in the classroom in 1st grade. This class size is far too big. I would appreciate it if you could do something to reduce classroom sizes.

    Comments: My daughter is in G&T program, 1st grade. There are 28 students in her class, with just 1 teacher and random other help. This has been causing a lot of noticable problems. Constantly the teacher's attention to teaching is distracted due to the diverse and big number of behavior problems. With less kids in the class and of course more attention to each individual student from the 1 teacher, I, my self as an educator of years teaching experience, firmly believe that will highly improve the teaching and learning efficiency and result. Please help our kids with your wise and informed decision on this matter. Again, smaller classes are vital to better school experience than larger ones. (28 are too many, at least for a 1st grade G & T class). Thank you in advance for your kind help. Yan

    Comments: This is only the first of many improvements that need to be made. Teachers should be re-certified every few years because many of them are dated and not fit to be teachers. Books are dated and ver old.

    Comments: Maybe if tenure was taken from those who shouldnt have it, things would be better in our educational system. The whole system needs revamping. It's a shame because the kids are not benefitting anymore!

    Comments: My daughters G&T class is to capacity of 28, with 4 special needs students -- the teacher has a hard time splitting her attention in so many ways. How can they be getting any advanced learning under these conditions It makes me feel like these classes were created just to get more money into the schools and NOT to give special instruction to these kids, part in which was supposed to be smalled class sizes to begin with.

    Comments: I have three boys in the public school system. My oldest is a gifted student , plays the cello at Mark Twain in Brooklyn, who has applied to Brooklyn Tech as his first choice, LaGuardia and Murrow, all great schools, but we are going to send him to Xavier H.S, and pay the 8,000 a year. Why Because the 3 best high schools in our city all have class sizes capped at 30 and all run at an average of 35, versus 23; 23 in a private high school. My other 2 go to P.S. 38 in Brooklyn, where the classes are capped at 20, and currently hold 16 and 17, and both boys are reading far above grade level, and the fifth grader is doing math at a 12th grade level. Small classes matter.

    Comments: I am a parent of a child at P.S. 295 in Brooklyn. It is an absolutely wonderful, very integrated school that has tried to maintain smaller class sizes. The children are thriving. I urge you to make small class size a priority so that all students in NYC public schools have a reasonable opportunity to learn and grow intellectually. Thank you.
