Fairfax County Public Schools: Don't pass a 2014-15 class size increase without county-established class size caps.

I know my daughter's success in school depends in part on the class size, allowing the teachers to notice and intervene when issues present themselves -- this has already happened twice this year. Please preserve the smaller class size!

I'm opposed to large class sizes.

My kids have been in classroom size in elementary school as high as 31 and as low as 24. It makes a huge difference with how much material the teacher is able to get through and whether individual kids are going to get the attention they need. It's the difference between kids learning and kids slipping through the cracks.

It's a matter of physical space and quality education. One teacher will be challenged to teach a classroom of 30+ students compared to 25-28, given the various abilities. As the children get older (and bigger) class sizes tend to increase but the room size stays the same... not a good combination. Also, AAP class sizes are already larger than general education, which makes it difficult for the children to focus

This year my 2nd Grader has 28 in her class and my 5th Grade has 34. They are not getting a quality education. There need to be caps and they need to be respected. Our children are our future!!!

Class size is such an important factor for a kid's quality education! Please don't increase it.

Keep class sizes at a reasonable level by establishing caps. Good schools are the linchpin to a flourishing county.
