Classes sizes


Class sizes is it 'a national scandal' ?

Teachers have claimed that pupils are being taught in class sizes of up to 55 in some parts of the UK. news.bbc.co.uk

Research suggests that further reductions in primary school class sizes probably would not be good value for money. news.bbc.co.uk

~Does class sizes matter?
~What are your experiences of Teaching in large or small classes?

Class size matters a lot!!!!!!!!!! I have taught in both and I can say, children in large classes do not fair so well. they don't get the attention they need to succeed from their teacher who has to not only keep an eye on each kid in class but spread her attention throughout the classroom. The quiet kids tend to be overlooked since the teacher is busy trying to keep the hyper, disruptive kids in check. I much prefer smaller classrooms because I am able to focus on each child and their needs.


Peace

From my past experience of Teaching young children, I had more control over smaller classes. The reason being is that, small classes trully confer a benefit if pupils are unruly and fewer pupils in a class means more focus and less disruption.
