Update on class size

So -- the Assistant Principal said, “Those classes are as balanced as they can be,” which means I’ll probably stay at around 182 students. :/ 

I talked with other staff in my department and their classes are between 28-32 students per class. Talk about disproportionate workload. :/

The AP also said that aside from the band and PE classes I am the teacher that has the most students on campus. She said to take it as a compliment because “you are so capable.” 

Cool, thanks. But also, yikes. 

Okay, so, the more the merrier. I love students and of course I want them all. What I don’t want is the freaking crowding in my room and the extra time spent on grading. ***(but mostly the crowding in my room because it’s a crippling fear that i need to seek professional help for. I FREAK OUT about weight in rooms and whether structures are sound and safe)***

I’m determined to go in this with a positive attitude and make it the best experience for all involved.

Wish me luck and thanks for listening to (reading) my venting. 

Tomorrow is the first day of school! Wahoo!

Bahaha I have 185 students this year. I’m only supposed to have 150. I have one class with 40 kids. My classroom only has 26 desks.

Twenty students sat riveted in Omar Hakim’s “Theory of Knowledge” literature class at Detroit Country Day as they studied motifs in Jonathan Safran Foer’s Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Hakim engaged the students in conversation, often peppering them with questions even if they hadn’t raised their hand. “David, what do you notice when you look at that picture?” he asked as he showed the students works of art to help them explore the concept of motifs. “Jessica, what do you notice? What do you think I’m trying to demonstrate?” Hakim previously taught in a public high school where he had six class sections with some 30 students in each, making it difficult to focus on any individual teen. At Detroit Country Day, not only does he teach four sections with a maximum of 20 students in each, he was also able to create his own course, “Contemporary Multicultural Voices.” At an independent school, he says, “you have the opportunity to use your creativity to create something new without the barriers in place in public school.”
