Like their grievance is they want to be more effective teachers, and they can't do that with so many kids.
Looking at my kids classes here in Calgary and they are 28-31 kids. It's a lot of rowdy kids and education must be compromised with such large class sizes.
Seems really easy for a government to agree to cap class sizes, I don't get why they are resisting?

Smaller classes means you need more class rooms, more teachers, more general staff, more costs. You can't keep corporate taxes low if you do that, which means you can't keep your buddies happy who reward you.
