22 students per class seems a reasonable amount to me.

Our classes are already too big, more than 30 in classes at Wolftrap is the norm. Its a big difference when a teacher has 22 students vs. 31as is the case in other schools in the county. Please get our kids in smaller class sizes capped at low 20s'. thank you!

Classes are already too large at FCPS schools, which does not provide an optimal educational environment for students, who deserve individual attention and needs from their teachers and adequate physical space for learning

As many children do, my daughter struggles with the large class size. She finds the noise and politics challenging to her senses. Please keep our children in mind when you make your decision.

As a product of FCPS, trust me when I say that the teacher to student ratio is bad enough already.

Class sizes have been huge for a long time in fcps. It is a major detriment to the education of the children in those classes. They don't get any one on one time and most often end up staring out the window or being distracted by the college sized classes. I know I would have done a lot better in school had my classes been smaller.

Class size equates to the quality time that a teacher can spend on a student. Please reconsider your decision to increase class size.

Haycock is one of the local schools with over-crowded classrooms. I support the Class Size caps initiative.

As a specialist teacher who serves about 700 students in an elementary school, I can speak volumes to the difference class size makes to our students and their learning environment! Please keep class sizes down to 20-22 students. It really does make a difference!! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want additional, specific information. Thank you!
