Is there a new study out indicating that, contrary to popular belief, bigger class sizes are better for student learning? Thompson was on the show Wednesday discussing the Provincial Conservatives recent announcement about plans to increase the average high school class size from 22 students to 28, likely over the next few years. I’m not an academic but I tried my best to find evidence linking larger class sizes to resilience among young people and I failed. After all, if she truly believes kids are coddled in smaller classes, why not increase class sizes to 60 or a hundred students for maximum hardiness under pressure? Ontario students shouldn’t just visit Black Creek Pioneer Village on a field trip.
