[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what size does it become too much for a teacher? The things I'm concerned about with large class sizes is actual space in the classroom, the amount of time the teacher has to teach either in small groups or individually, the amount of time taken away for discipline, and the amount of work a teacher needs to do with a large class size. When does it become too much for even the teacher to handle and have a productive and happy year?[/quote] IME, the sweet spot (efficiency vs ability to teach) is 24-26 students in classrooms where the majority of children are well supported at home. Any more and the teacher's ability to maintain classroom dynamics and any less and the cost per pupil increases too much. [/quote]
