[quote=Anonymous]You know what, the Straight DOpe column answered the question about the research on small class size very recently - past couple of weeks. I happened to grab a City Paper and read it. Not sure if it is archived online. From what i recall, the small class size thing came from one large study in - Louisiana, maybe? And they found that it definitely made a difference. And based on that one study, the state of CA for example, legislated smaller class sizes. The thing is, the study looked at sizes like the previous poster said was 14 or 15. And CA mandated dropping from 28 to 20. It's probably intuitively obvious that smaller class sizes are "better" but there's not much study it seems. on the other hand, one thing that circles around in education circles is that really good teachers can probably control and teach larger class sizes than less good teachers. But how youquantify that is a mystery. [/quote]
