Wow, now I am really jealous.
Those teacher to student ratios are crazy, especially in the small schools. It must be easy, or should I say easier, being a teacher there. Out of 6 classes, my lowest student count is 24, the highest is 30, the average is 27. I have colleagues with 28-30 averages. Do some administrator numbers also and it is easy to see why the consolidation issue comes up. It is certainly not just a wrestling issue.
Oh well, I do get paid so I don't complain.
The send um, I teach um, they pay me, I pay bills, life goes on.
