I think that the research class size is very complicated. But anyone who has a kid in school and has spent time in the schools knows that the more kids they have, the harder it is to teach them. And if you have any kids with "issues" -- who need more interaction -- the more kids, the less help they get. Go volunteer at any inner city school Michael, and then tell me that class size doesn't matter.
