There’s a huge controversy boiling across The teaching and education landscape right now.
Some people are saying Betsy DeVos has rekindled the flame of "Larger Class Sizes and Fewer Teachers."
Others are saying That it flies in the face of common sense. Smaller classes and more teachers is the way to go.
But you know what? This is not a new debate!
"While DeVos is under siege for her comment, she’s not the first secretary of education to suggest schools might be wiser to invest in stronger teachers rather than smaller classes. Arne Duncan, secretary of education for most of Obama’s tenure, argued, “We spent billions of dollars to reduce class size when we could instead give teachers higher salaries in exchange for larger classrooms, thereby attracting much more talented teachers.”

They’re all wrong. Every. Single. Person.
That’s because We have allowed our partisan views detract from the success of our children. If this is a bad idea now, it was a bad idea then. When will we stop allowing politicians to dictate foundational classroom and instructional strategies?
That’s what I think. Tell me, what do YOU think? Let me know your opinion right now by commenting below. Please focus on the long standing issue of class size and NOT the people involved.
