[quote=Anonymous][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] If you put 5 more kids in a class, that equals 25 more kids that a teacher has over the course of a high school schedule. That means 25 more papers, tests, forms, recommendations, possible IEP forms, etc., etc. For the same salary. If you don't think that might lead to faster burnout or departure, think again. Could you have your workload increased by 20% without a pay increase and say, "Oh, yeah, this is great." This is not sustainable. [/quote]
