Wolftrap ES, Kilmer MS, Marshall HS - Increasing class sizes are leading to a loss of learning time in the classroom and therefore increased homework and stress on students and families. When teachers don't have time to teach because classroom management has become their primary focus, the students have to bring all their work home to study and reinforce what should have taken place during school time. 30 students in a class is a travesty. No wonder incidents of suicide in high school in Fairfax County is in the rise.

Please consider enlarging the ratio for administrators instead.

What is being considered as "reasonable?" Clearly class size too large as it stands.

I help at school and see that the current class size has a negative effect on our children's opportunity to learn and increases in class size will exponentially increase that negative effect on our children's opportunity to learn. They are close to the breaking point when teachers will have to put most of their effort into just keeping order. The School Board's constant underestimation of student populations for Haycock ES will only add to the problem.

Please do not increase our class sizes. Wolftrap E and Marshall H.S. already have too many students per class.

Please ensure County-established caps for elementary, middle, and high schools in Fairfax County.

Please cap class sizes in FCPS, especially in the primary grade!

The county needs to set a cap. Class size matters in the education children receive, and there should be a limit to this madness. I would much rather see cuts at the administrative level in FCPS rather than in the classroom.

Please do NOT increase class sizes and take away instructional aids - help our children succeed - this includes HIGH SCHOOL! 35 in a class is an unacceptable learning environment
