Their education could have been better and they could have been more successful. That's my point.And I have known many people who have attended public schools who are very happy with their education and are incredibly successful in life.
What is your point?
So now you are a clairvoyant.Their education could have been better and they could have been more successful. That's my point.
You've only given your personal opinion here as if its fact, I gave you a study that shows you are wrong.Prove it's right.
You provided an article from a US newspaper known for being very biased. That's not proof, that's just another opinion.You've only given your personal opinion here as if its fact, I gave you a study that shows you are wrong.
That puts me on the winning side with you left only with your personal opinion and nothing to back that up.
Here you go:So now you are a clairvoyant.
Care to share this week's LOTTOMAX numbers?

Only because you ignore facts you don't like. I already posted that UCC, one of those prestigious private schools, have maximums of 22.As far as I know, private schools don't set any maximum class size policies. ....
I don’t see class maximums posted by any private schools. I see averages which vary depending on the school.Only because you ignore facts you don't like. I already posted that UCC, one of those prestigious private schools, have maximums of 22.
Sadly every suggestion you make is to emulate systems that test well behind Canada.
The only private school that you specifically used as example is Blyth. Their website says that their average class size is 8.I don’t see class maximums posted by any private schools. I see averages which vary depending on the school.
Blyth was used within the context of online courses. Blyth is a different kind of private school (boutique) meant more for bridging classes and picking up required credits for post-secondary (although they also offer full time).The only private school that you specifically used as example is Blyth.

UCC-Average class size of 20.Blyth was used within the context of online courses. Blyth is a different kind of private school (boutique) meant more for bridging classes and picking up required credits for post-secondary (although they also offer full time).
For class sizes, a fair comparison would be a post-secondary full time school usually from grades 9-12 (although many offer elementary grades as well) such as UCC, St. Andrew's, etc.
So average could mean more or less right? And as far as I can see, I don't see anything about mandatory class size limits. Class sizes globally vary as well. (there are dependencies among sources but you get the idea).UCC-Average class size of 20.
Even if there is no max, the average is much smaller. They couldn't get an average that much lower if more than just the occasional class is bigger.So average could mean more or less right? And as far as I can see, I don't see anything about mandatory class size limits. Class sizes globally vary as well. (there are dependencies among sources but you get the idea).
Your earlier point compares private class sizes to public as if to suggest that private schools keep their class sizes smaller.Even if there is no max, the average is much smaller. They couldn't get an average that much lower if more than just the occasional class is bigger.
Clearly the overwhelming preponderance of UCC classes are significantly lower than in the public system already. Your attempt to move the goalpost from average size to max size fails.
You've shown nothing. I did more research than you on online classes at private schools and I did more research on class size, all the while you told me that I am too lazy to search.Your earlier point compares private class sizes to public as if to suggest that private schools keep their class sizes smaller.
That is not true as far as mandated limits.
So whether class sizes happen to be smaller could be that less students enrol there.
So what’s your point now?
I’ve shown you class sizes globally and there is nothing to show that the increased class sizes proposed in Ontario are out of line.
The more info I provide you, you predictably now say you have provided more where I would concede we have both provided about the same. But really, it's an argument I or anyone else can not win despite whatever amount of info is provided to you.You've shown nothing. I did more research than you on online classes at private schools and I did more research on class size, all the while you told me that I am too lazy to search.
I enjoy a challenging debate with facts and logic, so I guess that I'll have to look elsewhere.
It's about negotiation. And they have handled this brilliantly.And now they are backpedaling.
I guess e-learning and huge class sizes weren't that great an idea to begin with, were they?
