More children are crowding into classrooms in Modesto, Calif. Parents are paying extra to send their kids to full-day kindergarten in Queen Creek, Ariz. And the school buses stopped rolling in one St. Louis area school district.
These are but a few of the unwelcome changes greeting children as they start the school year. Tight fiscal times are forcing school districts to lay off teachers, enlarge class sizes, cut programs and charge for services that were once free.

I was over a friends house. He and his wife are from India. They told me that the class size for a typical classroom was about 200 students. So the 33 in a US school is not too bad.
States mandate the number of students per teacher. It is dependent upon the age group.
