I suggest that instead of making all schools small, make some big and some small with the option to choose, like you would with college. It's too big. There's about 1,000 students there, that's too many. You knew everybody, and nothing happened. As in my case.
Schools are very over-crowded.
In the past two years of my attendance the incoming freshman classes have broken attendance records at the school. Over crowding not only creates stress, but also makes for overcrowded classes. This creates a higher student teacher ratio and thus the teachers' lessons become more generalized for the class and less based on the individual. Overcrowding is not a problem if we can higher more staff to handle the students and get the money to expand the schools. I walk the halls every day bumping into people.
