DENVER-- Yesterday all but certain GOP candidate for president Mitt Romney, speaking at the
Alliance for Choice in Education's (ACE) 10th Anniversary Luncheon , stressed the importance of choice and free-market principles in K-12 education. He condemned politicians for not looking at data and analysis before making decisions on such vital policy decisions as class size. But Romney argued that class size has no effect on student scores even though studies show that in schools where 1st through 3rd grade class size was limited to 18 students and where teachers
shifted their teaching behaviors to reflect those smaller class sizes, there is considerable improvement in performance.
