At university you have sizes of 160 students, and despite being older you
tend to still feel like an arse asking a question. What a class of 70
teenagers would feel like if they had a question in a normal school would
be even worse. Smaller sizes are better, but that means spending money on
proper teaching, instead of wasting it on trendy lefty brainwashing such
as citizenship. |
