Giving my sitch to God

[RBinBR]

Thanks, BI. The legal limit in the classroom is 33, so they are playing by the rules. I have a suppportive administration, but no "help" in terms of a teacher's aide or anything like that. Our middle school was the best-performing in Baton Rouge last year (aside from the magnet and gifted programs), so we just took in an extra 170 kids through the provision of the No Child Left Behind program that allows kids from the "failing" middle schools in Baton Rouge to transfer to our school. That's why we are now at capacity across the board. All the teachers at my school are struggling with the burden of this many kids, but it's especially hard for me as a new teacher.
