Subject: RE: to Jennifer Byk re pupil numbers in the US
We did not ask Dr Pogrow how many pupils were in the classes -- sorry. If
you are American then you know that the school system in the US is not
centralized -- each locality determines this together with whichever union
is prevalent
According to http://www.ed-data.k12.ca.us/profile.asp average class size in
California is 25.4 pupils per classroom. According to Globes of September
2008, the OECD issued a report comparing Israel to the other member
countries:
The new report examines 1995, 2000, and 2006. It states that Israel has
some of the most crowded classrooms in junior high school, with an average
of 32.8 pupils per class, compared with the OECD average of 24. The average
primary school class in Israel has 27.5 pupils, compared with the OECD
average of 21.5.
The average (in California and in Israel) of course includes schools and
classes in peripheral areas, small special ed classes and all sorts of
frameworks that reduce "the average"
