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.

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.

Christmas Tree Decorations

Shwe from Saint Johns

Hi all,

Just posting on here to see if anyone has any tree decorations that they are not using this year for Christmas and are happy to donate. I am asking for any random/baubles left that I may grab for my classroom Christmas tree. It would be much appreciated. I can pick up as well ❤️☺️ Please let me know before I go buy 🤞🏼
