Class sizes here are heading for thirty, with approx half a dozen ADD/Asperger's diagnoses in each class who (allegedly) don't need an assistant, and then one kid that does -full time- -in almost every class. Eight years ago, when Hebe first started, they were around 20 and there was one kid in the entire school who had a teacher assistant assigned to them, and they were fairly severely physically diasbled.

I think in the old days in the UK, they would either have been written off as a little in the stupid side or put in a special ed class. But no, we didn't have teacher assistants either.
