response to wallboard:  It makes no sense to fine any distict
who is faced with the additional expenses of hiring a bunch of
new teachers. This whole class size deal really doesn't benefit
kids or families. It does benefit the teachers union , they get
more dues paying slackers. What should happen is simply give
every teacher a pay cut that corresponds to the reduction in
work load each of them will have due to smaller class sizes.  Do
you really think kindergarten classes should have over 30
students? Do you really think a middle or high school teacher
should have six classes of 40 students each? The teachers can
certainly teach these numbers but there used to be a limit of
150 students max per teacher in the middle and high school
levels. When that limit went out of the door (it was an
accreditation issue), teachers went from teaching 5 classes to 6
and administrators kept adding kids to the class. There has to
be a maximum number somewhere. Oth
