Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

Type NFP alongside your comments if you don't wish these to be shared in the We Say You Say column of the local paper.

Kintsugi Workshops in Wellington - Saturday, 25th March Whirinaki Whare Taonga

After two SOLD OUT workshops in Wellington here is the next one. There are 4 spots left for the Kintsugi Workshops in Wellington – Don’t miss out!

Learn the magical art of Kintsugi with Artist Ema Frost in this new Workshop. You can bring along a piece of your own pottery to restore in this beautiful style. (I'll also have a few as back up if you don't have your own piece) (All Levels)

I'm sure there's a few of you out there that have been saving a broken piece not knowing quite what to do with it, and if not I have plenty of back. So just bring yourselves and have some fun. Perfect mother and daughter activity or bring a friend and create something magical.
