There are some schools in older boomer communities where this may be true, but like every year, the teacher surplus has now begun and these smaller classes are being re-assessed and teachers are being shipped off to other schools in worse shape.

My kids school is losing a grade 1 teacher this week suddenly. 3 classes of 20 kids is being rejigged to 2 classes of 30...in grade 1!....because that is just too small by today's standards. Good luck teaching these kids how to read, write, and grow with those absurd numbers.

So embarrassing on so many levels that this is okay. It's one thing for high schools to have larger classes (not 40-45+) but pushing primary and early years to ~27-30 kids on average where so much 1-1 time is needed is appalling.
