Please rate the idea from zero to ten!
Overall, I think it’s a great idea for 100 students to find more study partners and friends among themselves.
So the teacher has to prepare 6-8 different lesson plans every day and be knowledgeable enough and comfortable enough to teach every subject themselves?
All while trying to keep 100 kids focused and on task?
0 out of 10.
I think that your score is too high. It should be lower…
Discussions or lectures, sure. Education without TAs to provide more attention, terrible.
What this means in grade school. 5-10 kids bored because the lesson is far too slow.
5-10 kids actively disrupting the class.
10-15 kids actually learning despite interruption.
30 kids learning some parts of the lesson, would benefit significantly from reduced distraction or increased attention.
20-25 kids that aren’t getting it and need significant attention to understand the lesson.
10-15 kids that are hopelessly struggling and have no chance of learning in such an environment.(Assuming young students, since you said “all classes”)
How likely will a teacher be able to control a class of a hundred? Will any student that needs attention to handle their education ever receive it? What happens if an incident occurs and the teacher needs to leave to deal with it? If a child leaves the room crying, does the teacher abandon 99 kids or leave a child crying?
How long will it take for the class to give presentations? How long will it take for the teacher to mark tests? Do you imagine the teachers will be fairly compensated for the added workload, or do you think it’s a cynical ploy to hire fewer teachers?
So, in short, it’s a terrible idea. Zero out of ten. Criminal neglect of children, inhumane work conditions for the teachers, and just shit logistically.
My kids are autistic, so this would be a -11/10 for them.
In college, I had classes with a bigger ratio. 1:300, 1:400. It can be done, but they had grad students help with grading.
5/10. Not good, not bad, it’s just a fact of life.
For younger kids? 0-2 out of 10. They need the structure.
Do you know anything about what makes an effective school? Smaller class sizes is good schools 101.
0 More friend possibilities, but also much more bullying, because no teacher would be able to work reasonably with such a large collective. The teacher would be totally overpowered by the students, so the quality of the education would be minimal.
I don’t think that’s feasible for a single person
