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

FCPS must receive more funding from the BOS to serve the children of our county.

Don't pass a 2014-15 class size increase

Please keep the classroom a true learning environment by keeping class sizes down and managed.

Please do not increase class size when my daughter already has 30 kids in her first grade class!

these kids are the future. think about that before you increase class sizes.

Our children are our future. Larger class sizes will only hold back all but the most motivated.

I am very concerned about this cut. I am especially concerned how the will effect small school which cannot absorb these impacts as easily.

Don't increase class size at Louise Archer Elementary. The school is already overcrowded, and classes meet in trailers. Larger classes will lead to a lower quality education for all Fairfax County school children.

Flint Hill Elementary School I have a child in a second grade class with too many at 26 children.

Classes are already too big. There is barely enough room in the classroom for the kids to move. The children definitely lose here! large classes are chaotic making learning difficult and frustrating.

Class sizes should be capped at no more than 24 students per class. My son struggled with the noise and chaos in a class that had only 27. He went from being identified as gifted to tuning out and falling behind. I firmly believe the overly large size of my daughter's kindergarten class contributed to her school failing to identify that a speech problem was the cause of her reading issues. Her problems were identified in under a month the next year with a smaller class size of 23 where she was getting more 1 on 1 attention and the teacher could pick up the reversed sounds she made when she was trying to read.

Increasing the class size is not the right answer for our kids or our teachers.

This is becoming the number one issue Northern Virginians will care about when electing local officials.

Increasing class size is not what is in the best interest of the students. I have personally experienced a class of 35 and how many parents I spoke with talked of the academic struggles their child was having. FCPS has one of the best school systems in the country. Expanding class size would only jeopardize this.
