The article "Everyone says students in small class learn more, why does it work" published by Seattle Times, adapted by Newsela stuffs on November 18 2014 says it seems obvious that giving teacher fewer students to teach is a change that makes sense. In small class students are getting more individual attention and performing better. The idea is popular with parents and lawmaker alike. In fact, at least 40 states cut class size in the past 15 years. But despite more than 40 years researches, it has been hard to measure the result of reducing class size.
I agree with this. Lowering class sizes means hiring more teachers but I think that reducing class size and hiring more teachers makes teacher feel easy to teach students and makes students receive more individual attention. If there are more students in one class, it is going to be harder to give teacher's attention to each students. Here's some information from teachers who experienced in larger class and small class. "In a big class, everybody in the back of the room is talking and giggling, and the little kids are throwing things at each other." "But in a small class, the first thing a teacher said is 'Let's all bring all chairs around me here in a circle.'" The class which is fewer than 20 students might have their biggest effect on students who try to avoid looking at teacher. The reason is they can not hide.
1. Do you think making class size smaller is good for students and teachers?
2. Do you think the kids would better take class as the picture above to make less students who don't take class seriously?
