Haha, that would be great!  Wouldn’t happen in Utah though.  We are in last place in per pupil spending by a long ways.  I have never had a class of less than 30 students.  This is actually the first year in a long time that all my classes aren’t over 40 and that’s because they just built a new school... I do make about 65k though.

For a profession that is supposed to educate, why has no teacher or teaching union been able to point out the savings/benefits using simple multiplication/division?

- $7000 pupil spending even in Utah in 2016. (That's the UK average in £). $20,000 in New York which is more than the cost of some excellent private schools in the UK.

30 kids x $7000 = $210,000

15 kids x $7000 = $105,000

Well... unfortunately there is quite a bit more cost associated with education than just paying the teachers... heck, my school spent over $50,000 on just paper last year... and that’s with every student having a chromebook...

You do have to pay for the building, support staff, supplies, lunches, district staff, technology, etc.  There is a lot more that needs to be paid for besides the teacher, education isn’t cheap...
