Class size
By Donna

I have 22 Grade 5 students. Same number last year. Classes in my school run from 17 to 26, with 2 classes per grade.

The school my sister teaches in has a policy of maximum 35 students. 36 and they split the class. Some of the larger centers around have upto 40 students. A friend has 38 in Grade 7, including a chid with hearing impairments. I'm not sure that she has even one full-time aide! She's talking about stacking the desks, and has no room for her own.
