Question

Have you ever tried to teach a class full of restless, active sixth-graders? I have. I taught sixth-grade students for 12 years. For that reason, I was shocked to learn that the average class size at Harbor Elementary School is 32. The National Education Association recommends a class size of 23. In my view, Harbor Elementary should hire at least five more teachers. Teachers are already overworked and underpaid. Large classes make teaching young children nearly impossible for most teachers.
Sincerely,

Elsie Lovelace
