Dang, I am still hung up on the fifteen kids thing. That's a small class. About half the size of most of ours. Our teachers wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they had that few kids! That's good that you are encouraging her to be different. She just has to have the emotional skills to handle being different, other wise it can weigh on a kid.
It is a small class - there were a few more, but they have moved around a bit. About 20 is max for year 2.
But it is changing here too, where classes are growing in size, teachers are getting too much admin, kids are getting more poorly behaved. Finland is well behind many countries that have it worse, but are catching up.
I hope that she inherited my side in terms of this!
I think our max class size for grade two is something like 25. Things are changing all over the world it would seem.
