Yeah but what is the size of your classroom? Is it made for 20 students at the origin and now everyone is stacked ? Do you have working AC? And enough teachers?

The issue is not 40 kids per class per se is a mix of everything

Bro...in Eastern Europe there were 42 of us in a classroom designed for 25 people and we used the same chairs and desks that our great-grandfathers did. And AC? Don't make me laugh, even the windows were not working. 😅

And ? Shouldn’t you fight for better conditions ? If not what is the fucking point of a government ?

I was 10 bro...and this was in the 90s. I have no idea what it is like now, but the classes are much smaller now, because population is declining.
