[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all i can say in reaction is....[b]most of the educational research shows that small class size is the biggest predictor of student success. literally, the number of people in the room. not student/teacher ratio either. just the overall number. there was some magic number that predicted success[/b]. i think it was 14. so 1 teacher and 13 students was actually better than 2 teachers and 14 students, for example. interesting stuff.[/quote] That is actually not true. The greatest predictor of success is the quality of the teacher. An excellent teacher with 25 students will produce much greater learning than a mediocre teacher with 10 students. That being said, it would obviously be better to have an excellent teacher with 10 kids![/quote]
