Mitt Romney thinks classroom sizes in schools are not the problem, saying that he doesn't think smaller classrooms will solve anything. In my opinion, classroom sizes can be a problem because one teacher (with or without a paraprofessional) in a class of, oh, lets say 35 students only have a certain amount of time to do one on one help if the students have difficulty understanding and comprehending educational problems such as Math, Language Arts, and following certain directions. Also, not all students understand and comprehend at the same time and level. Different minds of students operate different. That one teacher (with or without a paraprofessional) can't focus all the attention on that one child for a whole or half day.
