Why does scrapping G/T programs have anything to do with reducing class sizes? You can do both at the same time, there is no reason to believe they are competing ideas.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoThey are very much competing for funding; reducing class sizes necessarily means hiring more teachers, which requires more budget.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoYes, you can accomplish both programs. However, the limitation has to do with funding constraints. src: attended public schools in G/T programs (IMHO: "normal" and "G/T" kids benefit from being taught together, in smaller classrooms) src2: attended college on a full teaching scholarship (am no longer teaching) — "taught"[1] the classes with behavior problems [1] Babysat; I was made the bad kids teacher because I was a tall footballer that didn't take shit from physically abusive bullies. I never beat a kid up (although many friends have, deservedly) but definitely restrained a few.
