Eighty or Bust! Reduce the Total Student Load

Reduce the Total Student Load (TSL)and the performance of students and teachers increase. William Ouchi, author of "The Secret of TSL: The Revolutionary Discovery That Raises School Performance" (Simon & Schuster) spoke today on Air Talk and explained how lowering the TSL will help improve the quality of education public school students receive but especially for crowded cities like Los Angeles.

Lowering the TSL should be a priority for the Obama administration. At a private school the total student load is 6o students per teacher but at public schools a single teachers is responsible for 245. Lowering the TSL is different from lowering the classroom size. While lowering class size helps if the total Student load is above eighty students the quality of education suffers. So, the maximum load is eighty students. The teacher in the above cartoon is having a hard time balancing her students. So, two hundred and forty five would mean she and the studen ts would all fall off the tight rope.

Save our children and our teacher by reducing the TSL.
