more like 23 pupils at a time! my fiancee is a third grade teacher in a private catholic inner city school. most of the children are there on scholarships from donations by parish. i am always amazed at the level of education she demands out of her students. they are at least two or three grade levels ahead of their public school peers. plus, while per public school student the price tag to the tax payers here in the twin cities is almost 12k, cost of education at her school is something like 4k per student. wake up america!!!
