Diedrich Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:28:13 +0000 http://www.educationnews.org/?p=202279#comment-825 This will make a huge difference in how well students learn. It is insane to expect teachers in HS to juggle 200 students and I cannot fathom the challenges a third grade teacher confronts with35 8 year olds. All thIs teacher bashing has become obnoxious. As a teacher, I know there are many colleagues who are not adequate, fit and/or qualified for duty. But by and large most teachers are heroically dedicated and far more educated than we can afford to be. The people run schools( districts and unions ) see public education as a business.they want to spend as little as they can on relevant resources and the hired help, so they cram 3500 teens in crumbling campuses built for a mere 2000.In most LA HS s there are not enough bathrooms to serve the students' most basic needs, they often don't have enough desks and the food these children are expected to eat is appAlling. Yet the administrative staff and out of classroom cronies multiply. While teachers are laid of not any administratie offices or the school police force were asked to make similar sacrifices. It's always kids and their hardworking teachers who pay the price. I am voting for this Senator Murray This will make a huge difference in how well students learn.

People only look at the cost of such changes but never realize the impact large class sizes have on our children. As an educator myself thank you for pushing for change and becoming an advocate.
