Answer 5

The ideal number of students in a class is 13 to 17.

A report from the American Educational Research Association confirms that smaller classes can produce lasting gains, particularly for minority and low-income students. "Class Size: Counting Students Can Count" synthesizes research on class size and concludes that the greatest impact is seen in the early grades.

Answer 6

Well, today there are other adults in the classroom besides the teacher, but if not, then I'd say that 20 kids per teacher is about perfect. You want just enough supervision that if there are needs you can meet them, but you don't want to be over-available because a big part of this stage of development is learning independence, initiative, and socialization. It's good for the children to troubleshoot and problem-solve together with an adult nearby when needed.

Answer 8

I teach in Philly I have had 34 kids in my class one year. Usually I have 30. WAY TOO MANY!!! I would be able to get sssooooooo much accomplished if I had about 22. I now teach Kindergarten and there's 30 in my class my assisstant leaves me at 11:30. I think I should get a bonus! So much for the reduced class size model. This is really helping with "no child left behind"
