We also need a more representative teacher workforce. Students learn better when they have some teachers who look like them (be it sex or ethnicity).
Interesting thought. We do have that where I live. Also quite a few teachers have children in the school system and everybody kinda looks out for everyone else. We have small class sizes. 20 in a class would be pretty large. My daughter is in 4th grade and has 15 or 16 kids in her class and there are probably 3 - 5 4th grade classes. It is one of those true small town communities.
