In fact, most of my energy was spent keeping the students on task \u2013 and I was never completely successful. The minute one of the students got my undivided attention the students who needed me to keep them on task were completely off task. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m a really bad teacher when my class size hits over 25 no matter the dedication of the students. I just don\u2019t have time to do what I do best \u2013 dig kids out of their whole when they get stuck.<\/p>\n
