15 - The teachers answers ever question. By hearing all questions can find out what they're not communicating clearly and change methods.
30 - The teacher will answer 4 or 5 questions and move on. If your question wasn't covered, too bad. ...
Why are your teachers all so incompetent? My best classes were the larger ones - 30. And those teachers never had problem answering all questions. But then xoxoxoBruce cites speculations as facts. Where xoxoxoBruce do you post by citing facts? Your numbers are classic speculation.

Some of my worst classes were 3, 5 and 10 students. That fact trumps speculation that xoxoxoBruce has posted. To make a point, xoxoxoBruce, instead, must provide peer reviewed studies. He does not. In fact this discussion automatically assumed private school education is superior - twisting the same speculation into a fact.

Meanwhile, xoxoxoBruces numbers are wrong. Replace 400 with 30; appreciate his typographical error. Yes, xoxoxoBruce, anyone can just arbitrarily post numbers as facts. Meanwhile, xoxoxoBruce’s conclusion – all classes should be reduced to one student – He fogets to mention that fact from *his sources*. But I mock.

There is no proof that classes of 15 means a superior education. There are studies that contradict - a wash. Most glaring assumption from that same spin - that private schools are superior education. Why would a teacher not be able to serve 30 students? 85% of all problems are directly traceable to the top person. During the baby boom, education was superior when class sizes were frequently 30 students.

Again, there are times when a smaller class size is necessary - ie autism. So that proves all large classes do not provide superior education? Nonsense.

Again, Bruce posts anectdotal evidence as facts. How do you know you lived it? More speculation presented as fact by xoxoxoBruce in the Cellar on the Internet in the Universe.

Unless you can prove that you weren't in the Matrix then I dismiss your experience as emotion wrapped in enigma surrounded by speculation under cover of fact. Same as top management at GM.

And if you didn't live it then it wouldn't be true? More speculation. At GM they speculated a lot. So does our mental midget president. He went to a school with small classes. In the Matrix.

That is because the smaller the class size the more obvious a buffoon you are. My goodness, but you have got be the reigning champion for pompous asses. Thankfully only you think you know everything. Try not talking down to everyone else and perhaps your occasionally valid point or thought might, just might, be well received.

Oh and leave Bruce alone or I'll send UG over to rip your intestines out your ass and strangle you with them.
