When I changed to full time I taught years 7 & 8 as I wanted to be with them all day & take them camping when camps didn't provide meals. There were no photocopiers or computers. I provided individual workbooks for students by making carbon copies of the work I designed & using a blackboard. Class sizes were about 40 pupils. No assistance for a partially sighted & a hearing impaired student or learning delayed. Students were grouped for maths & spelling.
I spent Sunday afternoons at school & evenings, after my children were in bed, preparing lessons & marking work. BUT, there are numerous benefits to teachers: being able to work near home (saving travel expenses & time); having your children at the same school; after 3 pm having your children play outside while you work on; generous holidays (I was often sick at the start for a few days). Teachers "Count your blessings...." (an old adage).

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?
