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.
