DT>We cannot control the mix (ok yes we can to some degree through 
DT>classroom assignments) and the many other variables are not within our 
DT>control either.  But class size is a variable (of classroom success) and 
DT>we can control it.  
Your arguments in support of class size are excellent.  I have tutored 
students 1 on 1 and found that I can cover a lot more material a lot 
more effectively than I can in a classroom of 25+.  Ideal class size 
would be one student, if we could ignore the cost factor.
I have often felt that homeschooling would be the ideal situation for 
any family wherein the parents had the ability and dedication to do the 
job correctly.  Too often that is not the case, however.
