[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]yeah, good luck. Their line is that class size has no effect on student achievement. There are studies that say this. [/quote] Yes. My principal told me this as he gave me my 35th first grader. Not in FCPS. [/quote] Next time, tell your Principal that those studies define "large" as 25-27 students. As far as I know, there has not been a study for classrooms of over 30 students. [/quote] Do studies need to be done? Are these schools that have large classes NOT getting high test scores across the board? Because last I checked, they are doing great in that arena. Is GreatSchools.org or whatever other nonsense site suddenly giving them ratings below a 9 or 10? No. Not that I think that this makes having sardine-packed classes the best thing for the kids, but the proof is in the pudding that large class sizes do not affect student achievement. [/quote]
