Haycock already has huge class sizes. We need a class size cap!

It is not fair to have larger classes at some elementary schools and not at others.

Larger classes are hard on the students and the teachers; not all schools are built for these large capacities, either. Keep classes at 25 or fewer. Kent Gardens

Our children attend Kent Gardens Elementary in McLean. We want to control class size to ensure they continue to receive the amazing education they have so far.

Classes are large enough at my children's elementary school (25 kids per class). Please cap it at that.

Last year, my child's class had 31 children at Kent Gardens Elementary. It was detrimental to the students and the teacher. Please put a cap on class size.

Large class sizes ensure that the teacher spends most of her time on classroom management, paperwork, and email. Limit the class size so our students are actually learning, not just taking up space. The numbers at Kent Gardens are much higher than other county schools, which is not fair. If Fairfax wants to continue to be a well regarded school system, it will need to address this issue soon.

Class size is one of the most important issues.

Don't pass a 2014-15 class size increase without county-established class size caps. establishing a class size cap at the county level to protect schools with already large classes from having to absorb even larger class sizes next year. This cap would make a big difference in the class sizes at Wolftrap.

As a former teacher I understand the compromises a teacher is forced to make when the class size becomes too large. I endorse the establishment of class size caps at every level. Inclusion classes and regular ed classes should have a smaller cap size than advanced courses.
