Well, it depends.
You could have a classroom with 70 highly motivated students, and love it. You find this in Africa were teachers are scarce and respected, children are abundant and want to learn.
I went to visit a female friend that leaved everything in Europe(executive in a bug multinational, a good house) to help and teach poor children in Africa. After going there and seeing it myself I understood: those kids were the best students ever and they loved their teachers so much.
On the contrary in wealthy countries it is common to find someone in each class that does not want to study and does not want anybody else in the class to study too. That makes teaching a bad experience.
- bluedino 12y agoDo wealthy countries like Iceland have this problem? They have very small class sizes and high-ranking school systems.
- xrange 12y agoExtrapolating anything from Iceland seems dubious. Since it is tiny (300,000) and so culturally and racially homogenous (84% of Icelanders apparently belong to the official state Luthern church). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Iceland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Iceland
