When the class size is large the teacher is having to divide their attention by the number of students in their classroom at any given time and not all students are getting the attention they need.
When class sizes are large teachers refer to easy to grade assignments rather than meaningful assignments. Which is taking away from developing students critical thinking skills.
Large class sizes negatively affect students test scores. It has been proven that students math and reading skills were higher for students in smaller class settings.
