We only really hear from the second group.

It seems obvious that if this teacher could have class sizes of, say, one that the additional attention would in fact improve the level of learning of the student. But improvie it to what? To the point that the person can fill out a job application for McDonald’s instead of total illiteracy? That’s great, but the implication that smaller class size is all that is standing between this group of kids and degrees in medicine or engineering is laughable.
