    Comments: Have you visited a public school recently Have you visited a private school or a high performing suburban school You will quickly notice a big difference in class size. Research has shown that one factor that works in helping the academic performance of children is reducing class size.

    Comments: NYC public schools are in serious trouble. Classes are far to big for the children to have an meaningful education, and the teachers have far too many students to keep track of. They are buring out at a terrible pace. I diidn't think the NYC schools could get much worse (and I am in the 'best' district, two) but if you increase class size you will be sounding the death knell for effective education for our children.

    Comments: There are currently 29 kids in my daughter's first grade class and even though she goes to Lower Lab School, which you know is an excellent school, that is too many kids in a lower grade class. I hope you will find a way to lower class sizes in elementary schools. I know you have a lot on your plate but this is a major concern to everyone-parents, teachers and students.

    Comments: Class size is very important! In a big class, any kid with a problem gets lost and the teacher doesn't have the time to help him or her. The kid falls further back and when enough kids fall back, you've got the problem you're trying to solve. It's possible that motivated "well trained" middle class kids can deal with big classes; kids who start out at a disadvantage, can't. And those are the kids that we're trying the most to help, right so this policy makes no sense. What on earth is your ratinale for it

    Comments: I manage an alternative education program in New York City, with a GED component. Our students have increased reading and math levels by as much as four grade levels, which we believe is in part due to classes of 20, more or less.

    Comments: Class size has a direct impact on the education and learning process of our children. Smaller classes allow teachers to tactfully give students the attention each one requires. In addition the teacher will be able to see the strengths and weaknesses of all children. Therefore, smaller classes are not a luxury they are a top priority.
