AND what grade are they in??
As of today there are 24 in Will's KINDERGARTEN class.
Texas limit is 22 but it's easy peasy to get an exemption. They sent out a letter telling us they were at 23 around Christmas and yesterday Will told me there was a new kid starting TODAY.
I know EVERYONE needs equal oppurtunity for an eduction but I am not sure they rezoned us as well as they could have. (3 elementaries in our area that covers about 5-6 differnt neighborhood, less than about a 5 miles radius.).
Our school has about 750. The other school has in the same ballpark and I have no clue what the NEW school has (just opened in the fall).
William's teacher has recognized that he needs more to stay interested and she nominated him for GT. The testing for that starts in April.
I feel like this year has really been a waste and has truly held him back. I don't think they are even to 20 yet. (they are couting to 100 but not a single sheet of homework has gone over 15). He's ADDING in his head.
I don't want to give him home school work after he's spent 7 hours in school but I don't know what to do. His teacher said she'd give him seperate work and hasnt. With that many kids I understand why.
Part of me wants to just withdrawl him and start homeschool late in the game.
The other part of me wants to go ahead and see how things go with GT (for 1st grade, next fall).
So again. How many are in YOUR child's class?
