[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]28 is not "outrageous". Good lord, what decade was it when you were in school??? [/quote] Oh, wow. Your standards are so low it's frightening. 28 children in an elementary class is both outrageous and unacceptable![/quote] Would 14 kids in a class be outrageous and unacceptable? Because if there are two adults, the kids effectively have a 1:14 ratio. My family was talking about this recently. I had 22 kids in my kindergarten class...but no aide. My father had 53 kids in his elementary school class in Boston. So I'm not sure posters who said that all the classes used to be smaller are universally right. [/quote] There is a huge difference between 14 kids in a class with 1 teacher and 28 in a class with 2 teachers. It is class size, not ratio, that is the important metric. On the other hand, a good teacher can overcome many problems.[/quote]
