Ths is the real cost of shrinking class sizes throughout the US. Marginal teachers who normally would not be hired are now sought out because of the need for teachers in school districts that keep the class size down around 20 to 22 children.
When I went to school the average class size was about thirty five or so. I have a far better education than the children being moved through the system these days.
When I was a kid we about 30 to 35 kids per class and we learned. However, trouble makers were disciplined and if that failed, thrown out of school. They weren’t allowed to disrupt class.
Real discipline hasn’t been allowed in at least 25 years.

It is amazing. Teens who are taking AP courses need classes with only 20 to 25 students. Then 3 months after graduating they sit in classes of 100 to 400 students.
Also...Why not video the very best and most excellent teachers and put the content on the Internet for access by **anyone** of any age in the state!!! Hey! Don’t the taxpayer pay plenty in taxes why is this information and content confined to a mere 20 to 22 students? Hm?...Maybe if they did film the content of these classes the parents would get to see exactly how much their children are being indoctrinated in Marxism.
