When I went to school we had one teacher. We had anywhere from 40-50 students in an elementary school class, 15-30 in a high school class.
We all learned the subject material.
We all graduated and went to high school.
Most of us went on to graduate college.
What has changed so much in forty-five years that we now need a teacher and an assistant for less than twenty students....and with the end result that they learn about half of what we learned?
What do teaching assistants do?
