Class sizes should be smaller

Three cheers for Jennifer Lee from Cedar Rapids on her Dec. 28 letter about school staffing cuts last year. Right on with every point.
I want to reinforce the one way that education could improve. Lowering the class size would solve many of the problems, instead of more assessments. If the class size is lowered, the teachers would have time to teach each student. This would also allow the teacher to deal with emotional/personal and discipline problems daily. There would then be fewer of these problems in the future.
Please give teachers time to teach each student instead of bogging them down with more paper work and more assessments.
