The interesting thing is that the last study that I read about on the class size issue (in the Washington Post) found that it didn't make any difference. In trying to explain the results, the presumption was that teachers do not spend commensurate time with individual students...My own observation from St. John's seminars was that the difference between 21 and 18 was slight, but the difference between 18 and 15 was enormous. There seems to be a "critical number", where the dynamic changes markedly.....
