Moloney: One Answer to Education Cuts – Increase Class Size
William Moloney, former Colorado Commissioner of Education and Contributing Editor to A Line of Sight, offers a solution for the necessary budget cuts in K-12 education – increase class size. In a guest editorial for the Denver Post, Moloney bursts the myth that smaller classes automatically mean higher performing students. They don't. In fact, there is abundant evidence to the contrary. Teacher quality, not class size, he says is the key.
Moloney is the most prolific Contributing Editor to A Line of Sight having published at least 35 articles on a wide variety of topics. His January and February, 2011 articles were both on education reform. Click here for his Denver Post op-ed, and find his previous articles for A Line of Sight here.
