Do We Really Need More Teachers?


Let’s face it, when I was younger, ALL my classes had well over 40 students per teacher. And the students did well, far better than the graduate and drop-out crops being turned out today with a bit more than 20 students per teacher, on average.
Moreover,  we had no internet and other devices to assist teachers, other than weathered books, old-fashioned blackboards and handy rulers for law and order..
The need to “invest” in more and more teachers is the mantra from school unions who want to grow at taxpayer expense, more than any positive aid to teaching they purport to be. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at twitter)
