“Data show that smaller class sizes don’t necessarily improve student performance. If you reduce the number of teachers and provide money to the most highly effective teachers to take on five more kids, that probably ultimately is going to be the best utilization of those resources.”

Does that quote not hit the nail right on the head? Of course, the greedy teachers and teachers’ union will highly disagree. There needs to be some kind of change with the education system both in the US and Canada. Will it happen in my life time or my soon-to-be-born daughters’ lifetime? Doubt it… too much greed and red tape.
