[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

Nice try at the backpedal. You have the facts on your side, but you are not prepared to show them. Not my job to support your claim. You have no proof, you have no case.

As for your so called bottom line? Yes, it looks like that extensive research isn't as conclusive as you asserted up thread.

Fact is, there is no conclusive evidence on your assertion. There is no overwhelming understanding that you are right. There is plenty of research out there, and most of it draws, at best, qualified recommendations for certain populations and admissions that there is no way to isolate class size as a single factor in achievement and control for other factors.
