For our kids' school, the main thing that jumps out to me compared to when I was a kid is that each class has a paid aide. So there's 1 teacher per 30 or so students, but there's also an aide in there, so 1 adult per 15 students.
I don't know if every school does this. But ours is public and I wouldn't have known this was a thing if my wife didn't volunteer.

The bar to expel a kid from regular classes in school was raised super high, so the schools now have to spend a lot of resources on developing and administering IEPs for kids that are unable to function well in a regular classroom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEA_2004 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEA_2004
