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

Please establish class size caps. Our classes are too big to begin with!

I think it's outrageous that Fairfax County does not have class size caps, while surrounding counties do. Our teachers already fight an uphill battle to teach daily, do we really need to add 5-9 more kids per class to that mix? It's clear that smaller class sizes are better for everyone involved. For all of the great things I heard about FCPS, I was outraged at the large class sizes when we moved to VA last year.

Class sizes are already a concern. Can you imagine teaching MORE than 30 first graders (the current limit) the basics of how to read and write? Add in special needs and ESOL students and many kids will slip between the cracks and not reach their potential. Make this a priority!

My child goes to flint hill elementary school. Class sizes can be outrageous currently, can't see how children will learn to full potential with even larger class sizes.

Effective education of our children is key to the future success of our community, region and country. Please take care to prioritize and address our concerns about this mission critical matter.

This issue is important to voters: I do not want my child warehoused in a too large classroom!

I will support anyone who provides a reasonable class size cap

We have great schools in Fairfax County, let's keep it that way, by keeping class sizes below 28 students. Thanks!

PLEASE reduce class size!

Please establish a cap on class sizes in Fairfax County Public Schools! We have seen firsthand the problems with increasing class sizes at our school. Students are suffering from cramped classrooms and insufficient opportunities for individualized attention from teachers. Teachers spend too much time trying to maintain control of large classes instead of teaching. We need smaller classes to enable our students to LEARN.

As a parent and former teacher, the impact of larger class sizes does not set a standard of success for most students. Let's keep our focus on setting foundations where both student and teacher can give and do their best!!

We need to keep class sizes small, but we also need to make sure funds are not depleted from other core services such as specials teachers to pay for smaller class sizes. We need to make smart choices.

The current 1/30 ration for teacher to student is ridiculous and especially a hindrance to those with special needs such as ADHD.

Please establish a cap to the class sizes because it would make the education and learning much better for all!

I was so bored in Kindergarten with my big class. A lot of time we didnot have much to do. A small class would bebetter.
