[Ohiogift] Does class size matter?

[Mary Collier]

To me, it is just plain common sense that class size matters.  Ask parents if it makes a difference to raise 15 kids or two kids.  Ask coaches if it makes a difference to have 5 basketball players on the court or 15 at the same time.  There is even a debate about how many football players to have on a huge football field at the same time, but never as many as a class size.

Friends:

A parent on another list posted a link to this study from the National Education Policy Center on class size.  The study concluded that class size does matter across a range from about 15 to 40 students per class.
