  Case: Classroom size
Many areas of the country are facing classrooms that are literally busting out at the seams. A report at NEA two years ago discussed how schools in Georgia, in the midst of major funding cuts for schools, had no choice but to lift all class size limits to accommodate students with the faculty the school system could still afford to keep. How can you manage a class that is 30+ students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I work as a co-teacher in a classroom of 44 fourth graders because of the teacher shortage. It is absolutely chaotic and very difficult but we do our best to manage. Classroom management, multiple PBIS systems, and consequences are the key to maintaining the structure of a normal class. It's hard, but it's possible.
