[QUOTE="Malika, post: 486934, member: 11227"] Interestingly, the right-wing French government recently commissioned a study that "proved" that smaller class size did not affect academic performance except for those with special needs... Coincidentally (!), this preceded the decision to save money by increasing class sizes and shutting down small schools. Tiny village schools like my son's still exist all over France, however, albeit with a sword of Damocles hanging over them in the long term. There is no doubt in my mind that he is thriving on it, in terms of academic (and doubtless behavioural) considerations... Part of me also wonders whether learning to cope in a bigger (not huge) environment might not also have some advantages. [/QUOTE]
