There are arguments for both sides regardng class sizes. Keep in mind that in university courses that are huge, the professors have teaching assistants who do alot of the time-consuming work such as marking. Universities are populated by the educational (or financial) elite, so there are fewer students who need extra support. This is where learning conditions and working conditions are impossible to separate. We can argue the pros and cons of larger class sizes for students. For a teacher, a larger class size with no aides and students with language, behavior and learning difficulties becomes an unmanagable and stressful situation. Not only do I feel that I can't meet the needs of my students, I am constantly on the edge. I am lucky that I teach a subject which students choose. They generally work with me to make the classroom a fun and productive place to spend time.
