Does Class Size Matter By Rose Arce Summary
Yes, Class size does have an impact on student education to an extent. I say this because in the article "Does Class Size Matter" by Rose Arce. It states that 'Overcrowding means students don't get the attention they need from their teachers, they just don't.' And that is a serious problem. When students don't get attention from their teachers they don't learn as much as they should have. They also start to just not do their work, some even consider dropping out. But also that doesn't mean that it's the only reason students do this. It could just be because of the teacher. In addition. Class size does have an impact on student education. It's becoming a huge problem for some schools. Many schools are having trouble holding the vast
majority of students that are overcrowding schools. A school named Forest Hills was built for 1,400 now has nearly 4,000 students. And another school named South Gate Middle School, the building they're using can only hold 800. They house 4,200! From that information people can see that schools are super overcrowded. The student to teacher ratio is just dropping rapidly. That means that teachers won't have enough time to give as much attention to everyone when there are so many students is one class room. Furthermore. Class size does have an impact on student education to an extent. Yes class size is important, but maybe students not getting enough attention isn't because of class size. Maybe it's because the teachers are inexperienced. Back in 1985, Tennessee conducted a project called Project STAR. It involved more than 1,200 teachers and almost 12,000 students. While this was happening Tennessee inspired Wisconsin and California to try and cut class sizes and see if it would help lower grade classes. In Wisconsin is helped students but in California it didn't. Some people say it was because of hiring inexperienced teachers. Which means that they could not give much attention to the students or maybe they just didn't teach well. In conclusion. Class size does have an impact on student education to an extent. It is important but there are other things to worry about as well. Like how experienced the teachers that schools hire are. And how much attention they give each student, also how well they teach.
