Governor: Don’t Increase Class Sizes

In January, Governor Bill Haslam announced his plan to eliminate requirements for average classroom sizes at our public schools.

It’s a move that would quickly lead to increased class sizes, and it is a major threat to student achievement.

Common sense tells you that more students in each classroom means less individualized instruction for each student. For decades, smaller class sizes have helped narrow the achievement gap and increase student learning.

In fact, the best private schools in Tennessee show off their small class sizes and brag about the personalized education they can offer due to their low student-teacher ratios.

Why isn’t this philosophy good enough for public school kids?

Sign our petition calling on Governor Bill Haslam to immediately withdraw his plan to increase Tennessee classroom sizes.
