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 … View more
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?

Feijoa Trees Not Forever

Michael from Trentham

Through Neighbourly someone in Upper Hutt wants someone else to give him a young fiejoa tree they no longer want.

Through Neighbourly someone in Upper Hutt wants someone else to give him a young fiejoa tree they no longer want.
Which reminds of the fellow in Wallaceville Estate who has a row of 16 feijoa trees planted to create a kind of hedge on the front of his fenceless front lawn. They are in below par condition. I don't expect any of them to suddenly go well where they are. The soil and lack of it and the rocks very little below the soil are a problem in the estate.
The Estate chap should be conceding defeat and gifting the trees but I don't expect he really knows much about gardening.

Feijoa trees are about the cheapest tree with edible fruit one can buy. Bunnings have them as little as $7.29 for a 100mm high tree and a more developed 3L variety at $26.
