Class size doesn't matter

That's why the big dogs send their kids to public schools along with the rest of us right?


From NYC Public School Parents:


Hmm. Joel Klein's stepdaughter went to Miss Porter’s, a boarding school in Connecticut: average class size of 11.


Bloomberg sent his daughters to Spence; middle and high school classes average 13-14 students.


Just more comforting facts to soothe my worry as I struggle to interact meaningfully with my science labs of 32 high school students, mostly sitting on top of each other in a room originally designed for elementary school. No big deal. Class size doesn't matter. At least I know we are all suffering together - rich, poor, powerful, meek - one nation, undivided and all that. Keep up the good work, Mayor, and please, continue to lead by example, stand on principles, put your money where your mouth is. Show the UFT that you walk the walk and have the courage of your convictions. Don't listen to those loony parents with their delusional ideas - you and I know that class size doesn't matter (wink wink).
