CLASSROOM OVERCROWDING IS A CONCERN FOR EDUCATORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT FROM BETTY PATERSON, PRESIDENT OF N-E-A NEW MEXICO. SHE SAYS TEACHERS HOPE TO BE ABLE TO WORK INDIVIDUALLY WITH THEIR STUDENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.
SHE SAYS YOU CAN DO THAT WITH 15 STUDENTS, BUT WITH 25 STUDENTS YOU TEACH TO THE MIDDLE GROUP, LEAVING THE LOWER AND HIGHER GROUPS OUT OF THE EDUCATION MIX.
SHE EXPECTS ISSUES SUCH AS CLASSROOM SIZE AND SCHOOL FUNDING WILL BE AMONG TOPICS DISCUSSED AT THE N-E-A’S NATIONAL MEETING IN ORLANDO STARTING WEDNESDAY.
