In an experiment in Canada, ten- year- old children were put in classes of four sizes: 16,
23, 30 and 37 children in each class. Their teachers said that the smaller classes would result
in more individual attention and better marks. However, when the children were tested, those
in the smaller classes didn’t get higher marks than the others, except in mathematics.
Moreover, pupils in the larger classes said they like school as much.
Perhaps the most surprising result was the difference between what the teachers expected
and the actual results obtained. More than 90% of the teachers expected the smaller classes to
do well.
