How is it possible that teachers are not being taken care of, and the students and their needs are not the most important focuses of TPS?

as a teacher myself I see that 30 kids in a classroom is hurtful for everyone. Kids don't get the attention they need and test scores are lower. Please don't trim teachers

The child to teacher ratio regulated by the Department of Human services requires a 20 children to 1 teacher ratio in a school age child care setting. Trimming our teacher is not safe or healthy for our children, families, and teachers involved.

The main complaint I have EVER heard about Eliot is that it is a school that is quick to throw away young, progressive teachers. Sad, when there is such a shortage of fabulous teachers nation-wide.

As a friend of Ms. Nicholson, and knowing how much she cares for the kids she works with, I would absolutely hate to see her trimmed and have to say bye to the class she cares for so much

29 kids in a classroom is unacceptable and these kids have already started the year with their teacher. Please do not take that away from these kids.

TPS, don't throw those children under the bus. You know as well as I that small class sizes help children learn more effectively by allowing teachers to spend more time per student. Don't sell their futures short. Don't hurt this community more by producing even more subpar graduates. Prepare these children for a future that we can all be proud of. Keep class sizes small.

This is the reason we left Eliot and enrolled our boys in private school--something many parents cannot choose for their children. If government schools refuse to get it together my wish is for every family to have a choice where their child attends school by means of an education savings account or a similar program.

Please don't increase class size number by closing down this class. I for one know my son benefits from the smaller classroom, and is a better student by more availability for one on one. Im afraid this will cause him to stuggle even more this 4th year.
