    Replying to @UFT
    There is a huge difference between 32 students and 20, even 25. Each child has their own sets of needs. The smaller the class, then the number of behavioral problems decrease, which increases teaching time. Like Nike, just do it.

    Fact: New York City suffers from high teacher attrition. Roughly 5,000 instructors resign or retire every year, fed up with city teaching conditions — including oversized classes. The possibility of dramatically lowering class sizes could help retain many of these veterans.

    In no case will popular, special, or over-enrolled schools or programs be able to push out or turn away students based on the new space calculations, though such schools will be required to make plans to expand their capacity over time.

    Fact: The plan is adaptable. In addition to its phase-in nature, the bill would give the city’s neediest schools the highest priority for class size reduction.

    Fact: Using the Department of Education’s most recent space survey, nearly 90 percent of the system’s current buildings could adopt the new class size guidelines, which would bring the earliest grades down from the current 25 to 20 students, and high school classes from 34 to 25.

    Fact: Thanks to new federal education funds designed to help schools deal with the effects of the pandemic, $7.6 billion in additional federal support has come to our schools, along with $1.3 billion in state funds through Gov. Hochul’s commitment to fully fund foundation aid.
