The Danger of MegaSchools - Blog Entry

03 Oct 2008 12:59 AM

The biggest class I had ever witnessed was 26 and that was because a local school had shut down due to poor structure. I don't think the number of students in a school matter in the slightest, it is the teachers, the class sizes and willingness of the students. In the UK our biggest schools tend to be grammar schools, typically with 1,500-2,000 students in total, they are also the most successful schools in the country. If big numbers don't work, then universities with 40,000 students wouldn't be producing students with 1st class degrees. Would you rather spend hundreds of thousands on buildings a school doesn't need, or actual teaching resources?

4. Only 5% of couples reach their 50th anniversary

Who gets married that early/lives that long to reach that anniversary, unless we all start getting married at 16, that is always going to be the case.

We got married because we wanted another child and so that we all had the same last name. Yeah, we weren't bored of the single scene at all.
