I can understand the actual standing in front and teaching part but isn't the teaching role undermined when you expect the teacher to handle 30% homework review?
And in class time. When DD has a publishing party coming up, they have the drafts, the edits, the final. In between, she conferences with the teacher to go over what she has done. And if it is non-fiction, her fact finding. If you have 30% more students, it is a lot more time. When we pay for the assistant teacher, she takes the HW out of the folders, marks them, puts new HW sheets, in. We have red folders for parent communication. Those have to be checked and school flyers or information gets put in.
There is a lot more than just the "teaching" part.
