Are Class Sizes too Big?

Whilst I recognise that the size of a class would affect how much time a teacher can dedicate to each individual I do believe that SIZE IS NOT what counts!

A teacher's ability to engage and hold the interest of the class is paramount, and to be able to communicate the lesson clearly and effectively. 

It only takes one disruptive person in a class whether it be a class of 10 or 40 to ruin the learning experience for all, it is the teachers ability to control the disruptive influence that makes the difference.  Having said that there is only so much of ONE teacher to go around so yes of course SIZE does matter but is not the only factor.
