Just to let you know, if high school classes here had only 32 students, teachers would think they were in Paradise. Try over 40 to a class. At the elementary level, because of our budget problems in California, class sizes are rising for the next school year. Probably around 31 or so per class. We had 20 in the primary grades but now, that, too, will rise to around 24. We now have all-day Kindergarten. Another ambitious idea to get the kids ready for college at the age of 5. Mostly, the two things the kids want most is Mommy and a nap. Some day, I hope to see Eretz Israel.
