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?

Spare or unused ride on parts.
Hi neighbors.
I'm urgently looking for any spare ride on mower parts or even complete old unused ride on's to pick parts off of,specifically, John Deere D105 or any 100 series mowers.
If anyone can assist, it would be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year to all.
Regards.
Roger.
