Trying to learn -

When I studied Jiujitsu, I was placed in a squad of ten other boys. The cost per lesson a mere ten dollars for an hour but I soon discovered that many of my competitors where getting extra lessons, one on one, teacher with student for fifty dollars. I wonder now if the reason for the larger costing class was to cover the time the teacher spent on a single student or because the student was receiving one on one better training than others.

The dilemma appears quickly that for smaller classrooms to operate efficiently people need well trained teachers in the said profession and not only this but their era of expertise should be relevant to what they are teaching. Many times during my High-school years a teacher of Maths would teach English and not only this but the ridiculousness of 'Substitute' teachers is also an issue. Substitute teachers do not teach often, they babysit.
Not only this but the factor of costs on a certain institution which is paying the many teachers to run many small classes. Jiujitsu is of course a long way from an English or Maths class but the relevant analogy still stands, If there are smaller classes, will students have to pay more money for more teachers to be involved in their education?

I give the question, if the government demands that a class has less than twenty students would you be willing to pay an extra one thousand or more dollars towards your education or would you quickly take the route to employment in an effort to save money.

Of course you could sit there and argue that the government should pay all your fees and that education always should be free or accessible.
Having forty students in a class with two teachers is not a good idea, then whom is teaching the class? Quickly misdirection sets in or not knowing where to lay your attention, causing confusion and people will ultimately start to day-dream.

I am not saying I am against small classes in anyway, if I had my way a class room would be maximum ten students but it is not about wishing, it is about what is realistic and the real world factor of costs/money is the real issue along side educated teachers. A teacher is the one conveying information on a topic so the rest of the class can learn about it, so employing substitute teachers just so people can have smaller classes is ridiculous.
If the government could step up with a viable plan to covers costs than so be it but let us not live in a fairy land believing that everything comes easy.

Consider :
1. Will there be enough high quality teachers to cover all the small classes?
2. Is there enough room for all these classes to take place?
3. Will putting money into the class reduction take away funds for other courses?
