Its more like a scale of education quality, which class size has much to do with.

Not true. Tell me how many colleges do not use the uber large auditorium scale classroomes, from any region.

The main factor in education of any type, in my experiance (which is of course biased) is motivation and your willingness to listen. Both independant of class size and alot of other variables.

Who cares what the class size is if you parents are ass clowns who didn't teach you to pay attention.

Out of interest, does the original poster have any comparisons of state colleges, where such misnomer variables are irrelevant (hint, some states have a much larger in state attendance rate than others).

Tell me how one gets more education in a classroom full of 25 screaming monkeys vs. 50 screaming monkeys?

Its easier for the teacher to zero in on students having troubles, its easier for the student (and the teacher) to concentrate on the lesson and on their work, and its generally easier to dispense knowledge when you have a smaller class.

Even if we assume they aren't all screaming and off doing their own thing, its still easier for knowledge to be dispensed and for people to be assisted in a smaller clasroom, especially if your the only teacher there.

Tell me how many colleges do not use the uber large auditorium scale classroomes, from any region.

Tell me, which group is likely to be more mature and pay attention to what the teacher is saying: Adolscent students or college students?
Its been my experience that those who are in college tend to be more willing to listen and more motivated to complete the class as opposed to high school level students

so you are telling me college kids are mature?

Are you saying the movie Animal House is not an accurate reflection of college life?

HA, you must have gone to a very small or very elite college.

And of course you maturity judgement is based solely on those who actually showed up for class.

No what's bad is NOT best at being not good. What's worst is. What's bad is only good at being not good, not best.

Now being in the middle, that IS the best. Not good, not bad either. And THAT is the best.

So Patro: How is it biased? Or is that just a statement you use for anything you disagree with that you can't back up?
