[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Is there any research which shows the effect of smaller class sizes and instructional coaches on these schools with small class sizes? [/quote] I wonder if the studies of factory chickens vs. organic chickens are applicable. You know, when they compare chicken completely crammed into tiny cages with those with slightly more space. Cramming so many kids into a classroom feels a little factory to me. [/quote] I'm not following. Buckell has an abundance of space, excessive numbers of teachers compared to other schools, and is still failing. It's in a neighborhood that was built to succeed as a middle class neighborhood with many single family homes. If any school should succeed it's this one, but it isn't. So do we throw more money at it or do we figure out a better way to teach to this neighborhood? I don't think these families or teachers want to be in a failing school either even if the class sizes are so low.[/quote]
