		Class and school size are bona fide issues facing school districts and states that have a desire to provide the very best instructional programs for children, against the backdrop of financial constraints.
		Class size is a big issue in many states; approximately 20 states have enacted mandatory class size for certain grade levels, and/or voluntary initiatives for certain populations.
		Class size reduction is a huge reform issue; as the U. S., states and local districts grapple with how to fulfill national goals which seek higher and better results for those starting school and higher achievement in all subject areas, it is a factor of considerable merit.

	Policy Brief 23: Class Size Reduction
		After decades of inconclusive research on small classes, STAR was able to show definitively what parents and teachers have long believed: that bringing class size down in the primary grades in and of itself has positive effects on student achievement in all subject areas ( see box).
		Not addressed by STAR are variations on reducing class size all day in all classes – for example, placing students in small classes for part of the day for subjects such as reading and math while having larger groups for PE or art.
		Class size reduction has enormous intuitive and political appeal, bolstered by research that shows smaller classes are good for learning as well as behavior.

		Heading into class, I was not thinking so much about the limits of my academic freedom or about the legal umbrellas that would suddenly open to protect me if the worst happened.
		When I talked my decision over with the class, most of the students thought that I should be true to the text and say it, while a few others admitted that they were bothered by the word, even though they were opposed to censorship or book banning of any kind.

		Huck Finn may just be entertaining fiction, but it depicts a historical time and the attitudes of the people, and I think that is more important than the presence of the word 'nigger'.
		In class on Thursday I said that I thought that the scene where Mary Jane throws the purse of money at the king and the duke was satiraally funny.
