[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] Interesting point. I taught some pretty crowded first graders in my day (up to 35), I don't know of any research on that, but I can bet it does have an impact. [/quote] My mom passed away las spring and we found her school pictures of her first few years of teaching. She was 19 when she started (two year teachers college in the mid-west) and she taught kindergarten starting in 1949. We counted 37 children in the first picture and 33 in the next one. She played the piano for their music lessons, she did the art projects, she took them out to exercise. No aide, no specials, just her. [/quote]
