CLASSROOM_SIZES

CLASSROOM SIZES Are class sizes to big in the America school system today' In my personal opinion, I feel that overpopulated classrooms are mainly a quandary in the lower elementary grades. The number of children in schools is prolifically increasing in the overpopulated areas of the country, such as; New York, California, new Jersey and other mid-west and east coast states. (www.ed.gov) I choose to do my educational issue paper on class sizes because I feel that it has a negative impact on young children in today's school system. Also, going through my education experience, my classes were all small and I felt that the student and teacher interaction was very helpful for me to achieve my academic success. I feel that all students need and deserve the one on one attention to reach the zenith of their academic success. Some benefits of small class sizes would be; students receive more personal attention in smaller classrooms. Reviewing existing data kept by the United States Department of Education, the figures show that between 1969 and 1997 the average number of pupils per teacher in American public and private elementary schools fell from 25.1 to 18.3, a decline greater then 27 percent.
