There they go again. Singapore, the #1 public education in the world year after year, has 40 students per class on average, and extensively tests their students. Reality always trumps "well researched history." testing exposes naked just how badly political correctness has ran our schools into the dirt. You wont find PC in Singapore schools. Furthermore, the GED program extensively tests the returning student to see where they are in aptitude so this program can address where the student lacks. The student then must pass several tests to earn a GED. Smaller class sizes and avoiding testing is not the way to prepare for college where the student will have to learn in 100+ student class sizes, and pass tests to attain a degree, it's assuring their failure.
