We must ask deeper questions about the very institutions of schooling than have so far been raised in the school reform movement with its short-term panaceas of more accountability, site-based management, standardized tests, prescribed curricula, and longer hours for teachers and students. We have to be much smarter than this and accept that we are dealing with a deep systemic crisis.
John Abbott, Terence Ryan

Making sense of the class-size debate

Few topics generate as much vigorous debate as class size; the debate has raged for more than a half century. While it is unlikely to quell the passions the topic has engendered, research can shed some light on the controversy and inform the decisions that school officials and policy makers must make.
