It is said that the last remaining large high schools in the Bronx will be closed. Christopher Columbus High school will be shut down because of its lack of success with New York students. Furthermore, its poor performances and low demands for students has effected the progress of graduating. It is said that smaller schools are better for students. Big schools have more controversy. Although some students defend Christopher Columbus High School, the school had to be closed because it was not working for students. Since more larger schools had been closed and new smaller schools had been open about 15 percent more students are graduating in New York. I believe this a great idea. Teachers would be able to communicate with each student. As a future wanna be teacher I believe it would be easier for me to teach my students and create a relationship with them if I had less students. Rather than 40 students in each class. I remember my HSPA class was only 4 students and I learned so much faster. I understood everything and I could be able to ask questions without the teacher stressing because all the other students who wanted answers. Smaller is definitely better when it comes to teaching and learning espcially since I want to be a teacher.
