It also reminds me of the great class sizes debate which raged in Britain for years. I forget the exact numbers but essentially simply having smaller class sizes does not always improve attainment i.e. there is a point that was optimal, beyond that the improvement in the students was minimal if at all. Yet the politicians kept pledging smaller and smaller class sizes. One thing I do remember though is that my computing class consisted myself and one other student while this resulted in a much better atmosphere, I am not sure if it improved our grades.
