And it also indicates in there that class may have to be reduced to a level that simply is not practical in public education, making the conclusion meaningless in a practical sense. And it is possible that other methods, such as increasing teacher qualifications and requiring teachers at the high school level to have a degree in their subject area, are more cost effective. And, this being public education, cost is a significant factor.

Say,
Although the projected annual cost per student of reducing class size by five students was not found to be as great as either lengthening the school day or use of computer-assisted instruction, larger reductions in class size become quite expensive:

* With respect to an additional month of mathematics achievement, reducing class size was the most cost effective of all interventions except for peer tutoring; and

* With respect to reading achievement, reducing class size was estimated to be the least cost effective except for tutoring by adults.

BTW, do you ever do your own research?
