<p>My other comment on the article noted above (Poch) is that Mr. Poch might be surprised to learn that we sent our son to a private school freshman year and paid a fairly large sum to have over 40 students in each honors class. He did not stay there past freshman year and fortunately did return to smaller classes. However, with the baby boomlet and lack of property tax override votes, class sizes are now up to 35 students for son #2 in our suburban, mid to upper middle class town. Large classes are not just for inner city students today. I am sure there are other contributing factors between inner city and suburban schools that should be considered but not necessarily class size.</p>
