Many More Students Than Teachers
Is this the reason we have problems in American Schools?
The Students Are Having a Hard time learning
Because of many more students than teachers, teachers may not be getting the full potential out of a student because he needs help but cannot receive any.
The Student to Teacher Ratio
As you can see after the year 2000, there is a huge gap in students to teachers. Some students struggle and need help and by the numbers shown there probably were and will be some that don't get any.
What does the Student to Teacher ratio express
It shows the relationship between the number of students enrolled in a school, district, or education system and the number of "full equivalent" teachers employed by the school, district, or system.
Student to Teacher Ratio is a general way is how the work load is measured
Because student-teacher ratios are a general way to measure teacher workloads and resource allocations in public schools, as well as the amount of individual attention a child is likely to receive from teachers, student-teacher ratios are often used as broad indicators of the overall quality of a school, district, or education system.
And It is Difficult For the Teachers too!
Teachers Having a Hard Time Remembering
Teachers are having a hard time remembering the students or even call them someone else's name.
