Are class sizes too big these days?
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.

Recommendation for a Gardener
Kia Ora,
Looking for someone to clean my small back yard from weeds. Someone that is reliable, trustworthy, honest and hardworking. Also, someone that works alone (no couples or several people please) and charges according to an hourly rate, a reasonable one please.
Many Thanks!
