Mega Schools
10:11 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
I found a blog about "The Dangers of Megaschools." Where a teachers discuses the effects of a megaschools. Megaschoools are schools that contain a large number of students in one building. The teacher who wrote the article was facing the combination of the schools in her district into a "megaschool."
There were money saving reasons for the district, but possibly education loss from the outcome. Teacher- student ratio expands making it harder for the teacher to spend needed time with each student to ensure their success, but what caught my attention was the fact that some megaschools are becoming K-12. As this teacher pointed out it would be very scary for a new kindergardener to only walk into their first day of school with who knows how many other students, but among high school students as well. High schools and elementary schools should stay separate.
