Parents and teachers in Minneapolis are voicing concerns about large class sizes, with some classrooms reportedly having up to 41 students. They cite challenges in student supervision and learning, such as curriculum delays caused by a lack of workbooks. Parents like Keri Clifton and Stephanie Erickson expressed frustration, noting that crowded classrooms hinder teachers’ ability to give individual attention and manage students effectively. During a recent school board meeting, a kindergarten teacher highlighted the issue, revealing that her class had 41 students. In response, Minneapolis Public Schools acknowledged higher-than-expected enrollment and mentioned ongoing staffing adjustments, but parents were informed that class sizes would not change for their children.
