How is class size not to benefit of the students? Kids learn better in a smaller classroom, this is from sound research. This is negoitated in the contract. I don't understand some people when they post things so vile without explanation or thought. When people state 'screw the children' they obviuosly do not understand that salary is just one aspect of the contract. Many teachers in the field just want an environment so that our students can excel like those in other districts but creating learning environments that are condusive to learning.
It is the administration that uses these things like class size to negotiate pay in their best interest. They don't want to hire the teachers that are necessary to have those numbers that supported by research. Ask the administration to come up with a set policy of 26-27 students in a classroom and they will refuse, even though they know it is to the students best benefit.
