class sizes are huge!

The biggest thing affecting my grades are the size of the classes I am in. Seriously, some of my classes have around 40 kids in them. THat is insane! I know public high schools are overflowing with students, but I think we need to get more teachers because right now some of my teachers didn't even know my name until three-quarters of the way into the semester. With classes overflowing,you don't get that same one-on-one attention with the teacher that really helps you understand the material better. THe teachers sometimes have a hard time controlling the class and getting them to focus, which eliminates time for learning. I really think it would do all the students good if we had more small classes than less big classes.
