Thanks

Honestly, it really was hardly a difference for me between 20 and 34, especially considering that fourth graders are much more independent. Some studies have even demonstrated that class size reduction hasn’t made all that much of a difference in student test scores. If you are a good teacher, you will be a good teacher with more or less students.

Dual Immersion programs are a long term commitment, where students don’t often achieve full proficiency in both languages until the end of the fifth or sixth grades! It’s such a gift to learn two languages and maybe bilingualism will outweigh the cost of a higher class size!!
