The homeroom membership will vary greatly, depending on the
organization within the school. Usually it is about the same as a regular
classroom, composed of about 30 or 40 students. A class of this size has advantages, as well as disadvantages. One objective of the homeroom is
to know each individual as to his background, desires, interests, abilities,
etc.I a teacher who has a class of 40 will find this somewhat difficult"
On the other hand, McKcwn tells us, "There is a common and perhaps
justifiable belief that a group of this size provides more attractive
educational opportunities than either a larger or smaller group."
