This is what I meant to write.
It is NOT, absolutely not, humanly impossible to give the same kind of
attention to kids in smaller classes and to kids in huge classes, no matter
how good a teacheryou are. Kids from certain socio-economic brackets, and
other culturalfactors, get the attention they need from home, and therefore
can thrive in huge classes because they don't need the teacher for much.
Teachers in homogeneous classes don't have to plan the same way as teachers
inheterogeneous classes. I could go on, but I think (hopefully) I've made my
point.
It's not the kids who are spinach, apples or lemons, it's the teaching
context.
