Class size is vital to
success in the classroom. My experience is
the larger the number students the harder it
became for me to stay on task and for the
students to concentrate on their
assignments. The quality of instruction
always declined and I could see frustration
in new and some experienced teachers to
fulfill their jobs. Often the new and
experienced teachers would not renew their
contracts and in some cases beginning
teachers would not complete their first
year. Increasing class size is often the
result of poor
funding, bad management and
inexperienced administrators.

"Among the explanations for
small class effects are improved teacher
morale, more time spent by teachers on
individual instruction and less on
classroom management, along with fewer
disruptions and fewer discipline
problems. Other explanations for small
class size effects include greater
engagement by students in instruction,
more opportunities for better teaching
to take place, reduced grade retention,
reduced dropout rates in secondary
schools and increased aspirations among
students to attend college."
