[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. In kindergarten, my ideal class size is about 15. I have had as many as 30 kindergarteners, all by myself, no aide, no parent help, all ESL, poor and lots of undiagnosed special needs. I've had friends who've had as many as 40. I did it and my kids well. But it was really, really hard and if there'd been half as many, I can't imagine what we could've done. In grades 1-3, I think the limit should be 20. In fact, I personally think there needs to be hard and fast laws around class sizes. Many school districts cannot bargain (unions) over class sizes and this is a detriment to children. I have never seen a private school with only 12, but that would be a cakewalk job (for me). [/quote]
