Frankly, I would have preferred larger class sizes, since there's not correlation between class size and achievement. But, I can live with the trailers. They don't bug me.

What makes you believe that? Some research? Or is it just your feeling?

Cite some of this extensive empirical research, please. make sure it is peer reviewed and published and all those generally accepted indicators of quality are respected.Thanks!

Search the older threads. We've done this before. All peer-reviewed journals, along with government studies.

Bottom line is the educators find one thing, the economists find another. The educators tend to be split on the relationship between class size and achievement, while the economists tend to be pretty uniform in concluding there's no statistically significant benefit for smaller size.

But, again, search the threads. We've done this many times before. Recently.[/quote]
