The disadvantages of a large class are also felt by teachers.
“From a social studies perspective, it makes it more difficult to do different things. Group work, activities, and discussions are [affected]. It’s harder to have a discussion when there’s not enough time to allow everyone to contribute,” social studies department head Daniel Jewett said.
“Coming from an English standpoint, it’s not an issue of class management. There’s less opportunity to do writing assignments because it’s hard to have to grade so many papers and return them,” English department head Debra Isensee said.
According to Lee, administration has started working to solve the problem. For example, three teachers were hired this year for the history department, but the school budget poses the most difficult problem.
“The budget is already tight, which makes it difficult to add hiring more staff on top of everything else,” Lee said. “But because it is [a concern] for the students, we have to work it in.”
Lee said other solutions include evaluating the teacher-student class selection process in order to reduce the number of students whose schedules are altered at the start of the year by changing the level of a class. (54)
