This is a very interesting, and I'm willing to look into it. Of course, teacher knowledge and passion is a very important factor, but until I'm proven wrong I still stand by class size as having the largest impact on learning. I can see a problem with my statement, though, if the teacher of the class, regardless of size, is poorly prepared and bored. Thanks for stating your views.
