Name: Elizabeth Schneck on May 13, 2008Comments: I am both a NYC parent and teacher. My two 6th grade Humanities classes have 35 students each, which means I see 70 students a day. I am expected to design and track individualized goals for all of them, plan lessons, hold 1-to-1 conferences, check HW, grade writing assignments, and maintain an orderly and well-stocked classroom library. I love my work, and I'm told I do it well. But, with these kind of numbers, I may soon become a statistic--another teacher who leaves the classroom well before retirement due to burn-out. I hope that my own daughter, entering middle school next year, will not be one of 35. It is not fair to the students for their teachers to be stretched so thinly.Flag

Name: Barbara Scott on May 13, 2008Comments: In the six and a half years since the Mayor took office he has steadfastly ignored the overcrowding issue, preferring to let development run rampant. The time has long passed for accountability and transparency on his part.Flag

Name: Deborah Halperin on May 13, 2008Comments: I'm concerned that planning will be so far into the future, that it will have little impact on the crises in our schools NOW. We need relief for the overcrowding that is currently occurring in our school NOT in 2012, but in 2008.Flag
