At least at my school in the early '90s (smaller school, gr 1-9), it was a big deal when Klein was gutting..well, everything. My grades one and two class sizes hovered around 30, and I specifically remember grade three there was something like 33 kids, and parents were buying pitchforks, my mom among them.

Most of the core class stuck around til grade six, then there was a huge drop in grade seven. But I think I remember my younger brother had slightly lower numbers, he was in grade one when I was in grade eight. He may have even been in a 1/2 split, or maybe it was a 2/3--no idea if it was a numbers issue or what.

Class sizes go down every July. UCP logic.
