[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know, I know, this has nothing to do with OP's question... But when I was growing up in Asia in 70s, we had 60 to 70 kids per class. Teachers had absolutely no issues at all. If you make trouble, they would beat the s*it out of you. Complete terror. :)[/quote]

I had a student (2nd grader) tell me last week that he is going to call the DSS on his other teacher because she is "forcing" them to do homework.  Kids these days are unbelievable.  When I was in school, all a teacher had to do was give you "the look" and that was all it took.  Now kids have no fear at all.  [/quote]

When was this? When I was in school in the 1970s, there was plenty of bad behavior and delinquency.[/quote]

I agree but these days, kids have absolutely no fear about calling the authorities on their parents/teachers/caregivers.  [/quote]

If the second-grader actually calls the Department of Social Services on his teacher, I will be very impressed with his enterprise, ingenuity, and ability to manage bureaucracy.[/quote]

There was a case a while back in the UK about a boy (not sure of the age, maybe 10?) who called child services on his mom because she was trying to make him clean his room.  He called 999 (their 911) and said his mom was trying to use child slave labor.  The 999 operator laughed.

Back to OP's post.  I thought in MCSP they were trying to keep the sizes in K-2 to about 26, and 3-5 about 28 or so?[/quote]
