Most educators advocate smaller class sizes - 15 students or less - but here's an educator who's definitely heading in the other direction!
POSTED ON BEHALF OF DOUG
University of Phoenix uses a mainly on-line teaching learning system. It has a terrible graduation rate. Collects huge fees and then the kids drop out. DND dropped them because few graduate from on-line schools. They attract slackers and couch potatoes.

Wow,
All I have to do is post a presentation and my work is done?
That would make me a presenter, or guest speaker and not a teacher.
What happens to adjusting to the IEPs? What happens to assessment of learning, assessment for learning, and just silly old assessment and interaction with the teacher?
Had one of these classes in University with 1,000+ enrolled and video tapes in lieu of a teacher.
Is this something that the society for quality education supports?
As for these fabled classes of 15 students….never ever had one in almost 30 years.
This semester I have period 1 - 33 students, period 2 - 32 students, period 4- 32 students. It is absolutely in the realm of possibility that I will be responsible for almost 100 students each day.

Thanks for sharing the video, mdare. I agree with Peter Norvig in some points although I’d really prefer a smaller class because then you can focus more on each student.
Cheers,
