re: #70 Gus

Uh oh. He said Romney said “class size doesn’t matter.” We’re doomed!

Hmm.

“I came into office and talked to people and said, ‘What can we do to improve our schools?’” Romney said at his Thursday event. “And a number of folks said we need smaller classroom sizes, that will make the biggest difference.”

Romney went on to cite a study that showed no correlation between classroom size and performance, naming schools in Cambridge, Massachusetts as an example.

“The schools in the district with the smallest classroom sizes had students performing in the bottom 10%,” Romney said. “Just getting smaller classrooms didn’t seem to be the key.”
