What are your views about class size and instruction, and how do you think class size should be addressed in Utah? (Question from Utahans for Public Schools)

I believe that class size and instruction should be determined at the local level closest to the student.  In education there are times when a large class makes the most since, and times when one on one tutoring is what the student needs.  We need to allow local schools and districts more flexibility in spending to address the needs of their students. When local schools look at the data of their students they will develop plans of class sizes that meet the demands of their students. We need to start treating the local superintendents and principals like the professionals they are and allowing them to make the decisions required to educating they have been entrusted to educate. We create more flexibility in spending for local schools when we eliminate restricted programs and lump all education funding into a general account, allowing principals and superintendents to make decisions for their local communities.
