I would really, really like to see that in print.
"Reducing Maximum Class Size One thing that teachers, parents, students and education experts agree upon is that smaller class size makes for better teaching and learning. Over the years, the Boston Teachers Union has successfully negotiated decreases in class size. In 1983, Kindergarten - Grade 3 maximum class size was 33 students; in 2002, that number was down to 22 students. In 1986, maximum classs size for Grades 6-8 was 33; in 2002, that number was down to 28. In 1986, maximum class size for Grades 9-112 was 36; in 2002, that number was down to 31."
