The average middle school classroom in Israel is 33 students, compared to 24 average in other developed countries.

What do you believe are the effects of too many students in a class? What should be done about it?
If you were a teacher in such a large class how would you manage?

33?  That is too many.  Is it a lack of funding or lack of teachers, or both?  Some school districts in the US are forced to have larger class sizes and reduce the number of teachers because of major budget issues.

I can't recall, but I don't even think the classes were that large even in Bosnia

My Grade 4 class was 39, my Grade 3 was 43

more teachers are needed in Israel, and perhaps building more schools.
Education is so important and in large classrooms it is very hard to learn
